The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) as a Predictor of Success at the Naval Postgraduate School: A Validation Test

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the use of the Graduate Record Examination and other measures as predictors of academic success at the Naval Postgraduate School. It substantially validates the results of a previous study completed last year which showed the Graduate Record Examination to be a much stronger predictor of success than the currently used Academic Profile Code. This thesis also shows that the combination of Graduate Record Examination scores and Academic Profile Code measures is an even stronger predictor of academic success at the Naval Postgraduate School. An updated prediction equation is provided to determine which officers would be most likely to succeed if selected for graduate education at Monterey. Theses. (SDW)
