Abstract
With the same University of Minnesota researcher as in chapter 5.4 "A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis of the Predictive Validity of the GRE: Implications for Graduate Student Selection and Performance", extends those findings by including more recent studies in the meta-analysis and by presenting results separately for master’s and doctoral programs. Results were consistent with those in the earlier research, and the GRE was shown to be an effective predictor of graduate outcomes for both master’s and doctoral programs.
