Abstract
A number of studies have evaluated the predictive validity of the GRE across several settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive validity of the GRE for performance in selected graduate courses in psychology. Each of the three sections of the GRE aptitude test was evaluated. The predictive validity coefficients observed were comparable to those noted previously. Present results suggest that, while over-all predictive validity of the GRE may be relatively low, there may in fact be some courses for which validity coefficients are considerably higher.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
