The relationships between age and American College Testing (ACT) scores to college grade point average (GPA), and State Board scores were studied. The sample consisted of 787 persons admitted by two different procedures to an associate degree nursing program over a 10-year period. An age bias was found with significant negative correlations for each ACT score and age. The proportion of older students who graduated and passed the State Board examinations was significantly higher than the proportion of younger students. The two admission procedures resulted in similar rates for graduation and State Board passage. Age and ACT scores were not correlated with the GPA. Age and ACT scores, with the exception of mathematics, were positively correlated with the State Board scores.
研究了年龄、美国大学考试（ACT）成绩与大学平均绩点（GPA）以及州委员会考试成绩之间的关系。样本包括在10年期间通过两种不同程序被一所副学士学位护理项目录取的787人。发现存在年龄偏差，ACT各成绩与年龄之间存在显著负相关。毕业并通过州委员会考试的大龄学生比例显著高于小龄学生比例。两种录取程序的毕业率和州委员会通过率相似。年龄和ACT成绩与GPA无关。除数学外，年龄和ACT成绩与州委员会考试成绩呈正相关。
