| Abstract | A limited number of studies have examined the relationship between admissions test scores, academic background, and college mathematics outcomes. This study investigated the predictive relationship between high school achievement, admissions test scores, selected demographic variables, and grade performance in college mathematics for 5,212 college students. Selected types of mathematics courses meeting general education requirements were examined individually and in aggregate to determine differential predictive validity with respect to course grades. The results of this study indicated that admissions test scores and high school class rank were significant predictors of subsequent achievement in college mathematics courses. In addition, the predictive validity of test scores and class rank combined improved as the courses' prerequisites and rigor increased. The relative importance of class rank increases and the importance of test scores decreases as the courses' prerequisites and rigor increase. Six tables and two figures present study findings.
