Abstract | This study conducted in collaboration with a postsecondary institution highlights results from a concurrent validity study of administering ACT® section tests to their entering freshmen who previously took the ACT test in high school. Students' ACT scores obtained from section retesting were found to be as predictive of first-term grade point average (GPA) as scores obtained via traditional ACT testing. Additionally, ACT Superscores that were computed across test administrations that included single-subject section test events were found to be predictive of first-term GPA, alone and in combination with high school GPA. Moreover, the strength of this relationship did not significantly differ from that based on students' most recent ACT Composite scores. (As Provided). |
