Abstract
Competency testing has recently become both a trend and a concern in teacher education. The relationship of scholastic aptitude and achievement to performance on the state-mandated Oklahoma Curriculum Proficiency Examination was investigated. Results indicated the need for closer scrutiny of the validity of the competency examination, especially to determine why measures of student performance in certain subject areas were the best predictors of competency exam scores in other subject areas.Keywords
