Graduate Record Examination scores and grade-point averages of graduate students at the College of the Pacific

<p>There has been much concern as to the validity of the Graduate Record Examination in determining the ability of a student to do effective graduate work. Some hold that the Profile score is a necessary index of a person’s ability to do graduate work, while others believe there is no close relationship between the two There is also a feeling that students who have been out of school for many years are at a disadvantage when taking the Graduate Record Examination Profile Tests, and that some departments prepare their students better for the tests.</p><p>The lack of agreement as stated above led to the following problems: (1) What relationship is there between a student’s grade-point average and this total score on the Graduate Record Examination Profile Tests?; (2) What apparent variations are there between the scores of men and women; the scores of students majoring in the departments of education, history, literature, fine arts, psychology, and science; and the number of years since receiving the A.B. in relation to the scores obtained on Graduate Record Examination Profile Tests?</p>
