A Comparison of Predictions of Graduate Student Performance: Is It All Worth the Bother.

Abstract

A number of research efforts concerned with predicting the academic performances of graduate students are reviewed. The discussion is organized according to the types of predictors and criteria used. The results of many prediction studies are integrated using tabular presentations. Implications of the findings for making graduate student selection decisions are discussed. This is the second edition of such a review and includes additional studies using academic aptitude and personality measures in attempts to predict graduate school performances.
