Abstract	In 1986, Seattle (Washington) Pacific University (SPU) chose to research the relationship of students' entering grade point average (EGPA) and scores on the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) to students' GPA achieved while attending SPU's graduate school (GGPA). Subjects were 350 students admitted from 1973 through 1985 to SPU, who were studying for their Masters degrees (61 took the GRE, and 289 took the MAT). Data were subject to several tests, including correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results indicated that both the GRE and EGPA are slightly better predictors of student success than the MAT. (TJH)
