Predicting grades in advanced college mathematics

Abstract

Using the Ohio State Psychological Examination as a predictor and a sample of 1,244 college algebra students, means, standard deviations, and inter-correlation coefficients are presented for seven course grades. Regression equations for predicting success in these mathematics courses are given. Six items of personal data from personnel cards are examined for the 29 students who completed the most advanced course. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
