Abstract
This study was concerned with the use of (a) scores on Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and (b) undergraduate grade point averages as predictors of success of library school students as measured by (a) a graded comprehensive examination administered to those in their last term of the master's degree program, and (b) graduate grade point averages. GRE-Verbal scores proved to be the most valid predictors of success-noticeably more prognostic than were undergraduate grades.Keywords
