“…Studies specifically targeting psychology students have generally fit the pattern of other social sciences (Bean, 1975;Camp & Clawson, 1979;Dollinger, 1989;Federici & Schuerger, 1974;Hackman, Wigins, & Bass, 1970;Herbert & Holmes, 1979;Holmes & Beishline, 1996;House & Johnson, 1992;House, Johnson, & Tolone, 1987;Ingram, 1983;Kaczmarek & Franco, 1986;Marston, 1971;Mehrabian, 1969;Newman, 1968;Powell & Geisinger, 1981;Sternberg, 1997;Willingham, 1974). Although the above authors are not always in agreement, three common themes emerge: (a) GRE scores serve as useful predictors of various criteria, (b) there remains ample room for improvement in prediction, and (c) ongoing research, including more validation studies, is desirable.…”

The present study examined the use of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE-Verbal and GRE-Quantitative) and undergraduate grade point average (UGPA) to predict long-term performance in an MA program in forensic psychology. The criterion measures were graduate grade point average (GGPA) and time to completion (TTC). Data were available for 206 graduates. Regression analysis indicated that a linear combination of GRE-V, GRE-Q, and UGPA correlated 0.63 with GGPA. Predictive efficiency was reduced by only 2% of the variance when GRE subscores are combined into a total score. The correlation with TTC was smaller ( R = 0.31) but nonetheless translated into meaningful differences in student performance. Most noteworthy, GRE scores and UGPA appear to predict better for forensic psychology than for social sciences in general.

Introduction: Academic potential test (APT) is the terminology used for requirement in student recruitment process at Faculty of Dentistry, Trisakti University. According to literature, APT score is believed to predict the academic achievement in graduate school. Objectives: This study assessed the impact of APT score on GPA score at Bachelor Dental Program year 2015-2018. Methods: Cross sectional descriptive analysis were done on 486 students, divided into 4 groups based on credit semester (CS); group A 144 CS, B 100 CS, C 60 CS, and D 20 CS. Result: mean APT score were 598 + 95.46 and GPA score were 2.63 + 0.72. Linear regression test showed significant correlation between APT and GPA scores (p=0.007; r2=1.5%). It shows that APT contributed as only a little aspect for the success of students in their study. In dentistry, there are other factors that may influence GPA score beside APT such as intellectual quality, talent, behavior, psychomotor and capability in social, science and communication. Conclusion: Academic potential test could be used to predict the GPA score in Bachelor Dental Program.
