• High School GPAs and ACT Scores as Predictors of College Completion: Examining Assumptions About Consistency Across High Schools (2020, background): “However, student-reported HSGPAs are more weakly correlated with college freshman GPAs than unweighted HSGPAs taken from transcripts (Geiser & Santelices, 2006; Kuncel et al., 2005; Zwick & Himelfarb, 2011); the studies likely overestimated the value that test scores provide.”
• College Outcomes Comparisons by AP® and Non-AP High School Experiences. Research Report No. 2008-3. (2008, methodology): “…promotion of AP course and exam participation, various authors and groups (e.g., Commission on the Future of the Advanced Placement Program, 2001; Geiser and Santelices, 2004; Hurwitz and Hurwitz, 2003; Klopfenstein, 2004; Lichten, 2000) have questioned whether: (a) AP course quality is being…”
• Validity of High-School Grades in Predicting Student Success beyond the Freshman Year: High-School Record vs. Standardized Tests as Indicators of Four-Year College Outcomes. Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.6.07. (2007, result): “Previous research by the present authors has demonstrated that an unweighted HSGPA is a consistently better predictor of college performance than an honors-weighted HSGPA (Geiser and Santelices, 2006).”
• Trait complex, cognitive ability, and domain knowledge predictors of baccalaureate success, STEM persistence, and gender differences. (2013, background): “…of domain knowledge, Average AP exam score (as a measure of domain knowledge) has been shown to have substantial predictive validity for postsecondary academic success (in terms of grades and graduation rate; Ackerman et al., 2001, Ackerman et al., in press; Dwyer, 2011; Geiser & Santelices, 2004).”
• Advanced Placement: The Dual Challenge of Equal Access and Effectiveness (2018, background): “Geiser and Santelices (2004), for example, find that adding AP test scores to their model predicting college outcomes increases the variance explained by 1.4%.”
