Abstract

This study is concerned with identifying and measuring self-made academic predictions of entering college freshmen. Scores on the College Opinion Survey (COS) were related to high school rank (HSR), subsequent first-quarter grades in college (GPA), Scholastic Aptitude Test scores (MSAT), and scores on the Academic Achievement Scale of the SVIB (AAch). COS scores were most significantly related to past performance (HSR). Self-made academic predictions did not increase multiple correlation predictions of GPA beyond that obtained with MSAT, HSR, and AAch.
