This study was intended to investigate the predictive relationship between GRE scores and subsequent grade performance in graduate chemistry courses. Records were evaluated for 145 graduate students in a chemistry program. Higher GRE scores were significantly correlated with higher grades in several specific courses. These results indicate that, in some instances, GRE scores significantly predict the graduate course performance of chemistry students.

This study was intended to investigate the predictive relationship between Graduate Record Examination scores and subsequent grade performance in graduate psychology courses. Students' records were evaluated for 275 graduate students in professional psychology programs. Higher GRE scores were significantly correlated with higher grades in several specific graduate courses. For GRE-Verbal scores, the correlation with grades in Theories and Techniques of Counseling was .24 ( n = 261) while for GRE-Quantitative scores, the correlations with course grades were .30 ( n = 255) for Theories of Learning and .36 ( n = 227) for Statistics II. For GRE-Total scores, the correlations with course grades obtained were .30 ( n = 255) for Theories of Learning, .22 ( n = 261) for Theories and Techniques of Counseling, and .33 ( n = 227) for Statistics II. These results indicate that, in some instances, GRE scores have some predictive validity for the course performance of professional psychology graduate students; however, the amount of variance in course grades explained by GRE scores was modest and there is need to identify other factors that explain success of graduate students.

This study was intended to investigate the predictive validity of the Graduate Record Examination for American Indian/Alaska Native students. A sample of 28 students at a large public university was tracked longitudinally; analysis indicated that GRE scores were significantly correlated (for GRE-Total r26 = .40 and for GRE-Quantitative .47) with students' degree completion status but not with their grade performance. These results indicate that, in some instances, GRE scores may be significant predictors of the outcomes of American Indian/Alaska Native students.
