Kindergarten predictors, Otis-Lennon IQ, group and individual Bender scores, and teachers' ratings, were correlated with first-grade Stanford Achievement Test scores from 152 children from three schools in the same school district, and fourth-grade Ohio Survey Test scores from 102 of the same children. Test scores from first and fourth grades were correlated as were the aptitude and achievement subtests of the Ohio Survey Test. Marked differences in predictive validity were observed; these varied from school to school and according to sex. To make predictions about academic success school districts should develop local norms, by school, and by sex.

The correlations between the McCarthy Screening Test and the Wide Range Achievement Test were assssed for 87 Caucasian first grade children from a semirural school district: 44 boys and 43 girls whose mean age was 62 mo. at screening and 83 mo. at achievement testing. Pearson product-moment correlations were moderate (.53 to .34) between McCarthy Numerical Memory and achievement and negligible (.03 to .16) between the McCarthy Leg Coordination and the achievement. Findings are discussed in relation to Meeker's technique of interpretation.
