A literature review was carried out to determine existing knowledge regarding the relationship of Graduate Record Examinations Aptitude Test (GRE) scores and graduate grade point average (GGPA). Building upon this information, a study was undertaken in which data were gathered for 67 M.Ed. candidates admitted into and graduating from the University of New Hampshire Department of Education during a given three year period. Nonparametric measures of association and of difference were employed. The findings supported the conclusion that a significant correlation exists between GRE-Verbal scores and GGPA for the sample studied. A significant difference in GGPA was supported, as well, for those within the sample earning scores categorized as high, middle, and low on the GRE-Verbal measure. The results were discussed, and conclusions were drawn.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
