Abstract	This study compared the effectiveness of high school GPA and ACT score for predicting different levels of first-year college GPA. We estimated predictions of achieving first-year GPA levels ranging from 2.00 to 3.75 at 84 post secondary institutions. Both high school GPA and ACT score were effective predictors of achieving moderate levels of first-year GPA (e.g., 2.00). High school GPA was some what more accurate than ACT score at predicting success at these levels. High school GPA was not an effective predictor of success at higher levels of first-year GPA, however. ACT score, in contrast, was effective in predicting success at all first-year GPA levels.
