GRE Use among the Higher Education Community: Historical Practice Is Not Always Best Practice.
Johnson, Troy
College and University, v77 n1 p3-8 Sum 2001
Describes three areas in which the graduate community is vulnerable to substandard practice when using Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores in decision processes: percentile versus raw scores, cut-off scores, and summed scores. Asserts that the graduate community is generally unaware that raw scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections of the GRE do not represent matching percentile scores. (EV)
