Executive functioning predicts academic achievement in middle school: A four-year longitudinal study (2016, background): “…related to scores on standardized tests, high school grades have been found to be the best predictor of short- and long-term college grades—not only outpredicting (e.g.) SAT scores, but also being less related to family income or parental education than SAT scores (Geiser & Santelices, 2007).”
Using Multiple Measures to Make Math Placement Decisions: Implications for Access and Success in Community Colleges (2015, background): “For example, high school grades have been found to better predict student achievement in college than typical admissions tests do (Geiser & Santelices, 2007; Geiser & Studley, 2003), and this relationship may be even more pronounced in institutions with lower selectivity and academic achievement…”

Assessing Its Relations to High School and College Students’ Personality Characteristics, Self-Regulation, Engagement, and Achievement (2017, background): “It is important to note that Duckworth and colleagues’ (2007) conceptualization of “consistency of interests” differs from the way interest is conceptualized by prominent researchers who study interest, such as Hidi and Renninger (2006).

In-class multitasking and academic performance (2012, background): “In any linear model of ICT use and grades, it is necessary to control for high school GPA (HSGPA), consistently found to be the strongest predictor of overall college GPA (DeBerard, Speilmans, & Julka, 2004; Geiser & Santelices, 2007; Williford, 2009).”
