The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive validity of preadmission scores on the performance of 131 students from nine successive classes at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The predictors included high school rank, SAT Verbal and Quantitative, selectivity of undergraduate college, college GPA, and DAT Academic, and PAT averages. The performance scores included science GPA, clinical GPA, oral examination scores, and scores on Parts I and II of the dental National Board examinations. Correlation coefficients were calculated between each predictor and performance measure. Only one was significantly greater than zero: DAT Academic average was positively related to Part II Board scores (r = .29). The apparent lack of validity of the other predictors was attributed to their restricted range.
本研究的目的是确定入学前分数对哈佛牙医学院九个连续班级的131名学生学业表现的预测效度。预测指标包括高中排名、SAT语文和数学成绩、本科院校的录取选择性、大学平均绩点、牙科学院入学考试（DAT）的学术成绩及知觉能力测试（PAT）平均成绩。学业表现分数包括理科平均绩点、临床平均绩点、口腔检查分数以及牙科国家委员会考试第一部分和第二部分的分数。计算了每个预测指标与学业表现指标之间的相关系数。只有一个显著大于零：DAT学术平均成绩与委员会考试第二部分的分数呈正相关（r = 0.29）。其他预测指标明显缺乏效度归因于其范围受限。
