Studies of the validity of the Optometry College Admission Test (OCAT) were carried out nationally by the Psychological Corporation, the test administrator, until 1979. Since then there have been no published national studies and only two local (school-based) validity studies. This paper analyzes the statistical relation between OCAT scores and performance in professional school for the 1981, 1982, and 1983 entering classes at the State College of Optometry, State University of New York (SUNY). The results are compared with the findings of previously published studies of OCAT validity at three other schools of optometry. For the classes entering in 1981 and 1982, there were significant correlations between Quantitative Ability (QA), Study Reading, and Physics subtest scores and both 1 and 2-year grade point averages (GPA's). These findings are, for the most part, consistent with those reported in previous studies.
验光学院入学考试（OCAT）有效性的研究在1979年之前由考试管理机构心理公司在全国范围内开展。从那时起，就没有发表过全国性的研究，只有两项局部（基于学校的）有效性研究。本文分析了纽约州立大学验光学院1981年、1982年和1983年入学班级的OCAT分数与专业学校成绩之间的统计关系。研究结果与其他三所验光学校之前发表的关于OCAT有效性的研究结果进行了比较。对于1981年和1982年入学的班级，定量能力（QA）、研读阅读和物理子测试分数与1年和2年平均绩点（GPA）之间存在显著相关性。这些发现大多与之前研究报告的结果一致。
