Overview

Multisite study finds both admission tests and high-school GPA predict academic performance, indicating their value in medical student selection.

Key Points

  • Higher predictive validity of admission tests over high-school GPA suggests they enhance selection criteria.
  • Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated significant contributions of both admission tests and GPA to academic performance.
  • Subtest analyses revealed moderate effect sizes for tests assessing crystallized and fluid intelligence.
  • Findings highlight the need for reliable admission processes through both tests and GPA evaluations.
