This study examines predictive validity of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) of academic success as measured by graduate grade point average (GGPA) of 582 students in selected academic disciplines. Results indicated considerable variability in validity coefficients for both different subgroups and subtests. (BS)

Based on a sample of 145 graduate students in social work, results indicated that the Graduate Record Examination, as a primary basis for admission, is not a valid predictor of future performance in schools of social work. Moreover, its elimination does not produce a lower quality of student. (Author/BW)

The predictive validity of eight variables (the undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and the quantitative, verbal, and total scores of the Undergraduate Record Examinations and the Graduate Record Examinations) were evaluated relative to graduate GPA for graduate students who had completed masters' degree programs in education. (Author/PN)

The validities of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and of undergraduate grade point averages (GPAs) in the prediction of graduate GPAs and a comprehensive examination were compared using a sample of 257 master's degree candidates in a school of library science. GRE verbal scores were the most valid predictors of success. (Author/PN)

The predictive validity of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) in a doctoral program in education was investigated. Results supported the use of the GRE but not the MAT. (Author/JKS)

For a sample of masters in education students, a moderate correlation was found between Graduate Record Examinations aptitude test scores and graduate grade point average. Results are discussed and conclusions are drawn. (JKS)

Rankings by faculty members of scholarship and profesionalism of doctoral recipients were correlated with age, undergraduate and graduate grade point average, and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores. Results indicated age was negatively correlated, grades were positively correlated, and GRE scores were positively correlated. (JKS)

Graduate grade point average for a group of master's students in a counseling program was correlated with Graduate Record Examination scores. Low to moderate correlations were found; implications are discussed. (JKS)

Scores on the Graduate Record Examinations and undergraduate grade point averages were correlated with graduate grade point averages, specific course grades, and comprehensive examination scores for a sample of Master's students in counseling. Correlations were generally low to moderate. (JKS)

Metanalysis of 27 studies dealing with psychology students and the Graduate Record Examinations' (GRE) validity in predicting graduate school success was conducted. Overall, results do not indicate that the verbal and advanced psychology portions are valid predictors of grades, although the quantitative section predicts grades in quantitative…
