Beyond Correlations: Usefulness of High School GPA and Test Scores in Making College Admissions Decisions (2013, background): “Of course, there is complexity behind the general result; for example, SAT scores have higher correlations with first-year GPA at selective and small institutions (Kobrin et al., 2008).”
A meta-analysis of the five-factor model of personality and academic performance. (2009, methodology): “Apart from previous academic performance, intelligence is probably the most used selection tool for entrance to tertiary education, on the basis of its well-established validity (Kobrin et al., 2008; Strenze, 2007).”
High School GPAs and ACT Scores as Predictors of College Completion: Examining Assumptions About Consistency Across High Schools (2020, methodology): “…on test scores over grades in policy and practice recommendations stands in contrast to research showing high school grade point averages (HSGPAs) are stronger predictors than test scores of college outcomes (Bowen et al., 2009; Geiser & Santelices, 2007; Hiss & Franks, 2014; Kobrin et al., 2008).”
Other-rated personality and academic performance: Evidence and implications (2014, result): “, 1996; Strenze, 2007), but such estimates are based on range-correction (Kobrin et al., 2008; Neisser et al., 1996) or unrestricted samples (Strenze, 2007), making these estimates non-comparable with either Richardson et al.”
Patterns of Persistence in Intended College Major with a Focus on STEM Majors. (2010, methodology): “The sample in the study is from the national SAT Validity Study database (see Kobrin, Patterson, Shaw, Mattern, & Barbuti, 2008, for more information) of 4-year colleges and universities that provided longitudinal college-performance data on multiple cohorts to the College Board.”
Measuring Academic Readiness for College (2012, background): “Despite these limitations, high school GPA and class rank are as predictive of freshman GPA as are the aptitude tests built specifically for that purpose (Kobrin et al., 2008).”
