“…Current standard deviations of scores for graduate school applicants consistently exceed 100. To help address the problem with the changes in the standard deviation over time, we obtained the population standard deviations that were available in the GRE technical manuals and reports for the following years : 1952: -1976: ,1988: -1991: , 1992: (Briel et al, 1993Conrad, Trisman, & Miller, 1977;ETS, 1996ETS, , 1997. Sample standard deviations from the metaanalysis were matched with applicant standard deviations closest to them in time.…”

This meta-analysis examined the validity of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and undergraduate grade point average (UGPA) as predictors of graduate school performance. The study included samples from multiple disciplines, considered different criterion measures, and corrected for statistical artifacts. Data from 1,753 independent samples were included in the meta-analysis, yielding 6,589 correlations for 8 different criteria and 82,659 graduate students. The results indicated that the GRE and UGPA are generalizably valid predictors of graduate grade point average, 1st-year graduate grade point average, comprehensive examination scores, publication citation counts, and faculty ratings. GRE correlations with degree attainment and research productivity were consistently positive; however, some lower 90% credibility intervals included 0. Subject Tests tended to be better predictors than the Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical tests.

“…In contrast, Ainslie, Anderson, Colby, Hoffman, Meserve, O'Connor, and Quimet (1976) reported a weak correlation, r = .22, between the baccalaureate GPA and the master's GPA in a study of 193 nursing master's degree graduates. They found a moderate correlation of .37 between the GRE-verbal scores and the master's GPA, as well as a correlation of .23 between the GREquantitative scores and the master's GPA.…”

Discriminant Analysis to Predict Graduation – Nongraduation in a Master's Degree Program in Nursing

Discriminant analysis was used to predict graduation and two categories of nongraduation from readily available admissions data at the University of Kansas nursing master's degree program. The traditional admissions indices, baccalaureate grade point average (GPA) and Graduate Record Examination (GRE)-verbal and -quantitative scores, were used as predictors. Criterion categories were composed of 102 graduates, 103 individuals who dropped out of the program, and 65 individuals who were not accepted. The first discriminant function was, chi 2 (6) = 87.567, p less than .0001, and extracted 98% of the variance of the discriminant space. Follow-up procedures using one-way ANOVA's and Scheffé multiple comparisons indicated that the baccalaureate GPA and GRE-verbal and -quantitative scores independently differentiated the graduate and dropout groups from the not-accepted group at a statistically significant level (p less than .05). Practical significance of the independent contribution of these variables to group differentiation, as measured by omega 2 was 22% for the baccalaureate GPA, 13% for the GRE-verbal scores, and 10% for the GRE-quantitative scores. Implications for future research are discussed.
