The developments that occur in psychological measurement have an effect on the development of the quality of the tests used. Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) is a form of psychological test used to measure a person's talent. Measurement of aspects of talent needs to be proven on the success of post-aptitude test studies. Therefore, this study aims to examine: (1) the predictive validity of differential aptitude tests in predicting study success in psychology study programs, and (2) which subtests are influential in predicting the success of studies in psychology study programs. Data collection was carried out using test techniques and documentation techniques. The research subjects were 62 students majoring in psychology at Yogyakarta State University in the academic year 2016/2017. The data obtained were then analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis techniques, where the subtest scores on the DAT were treated as predictors and the Grade Point Average scores were treated as the dependent variable. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that: (1) the DAT test can predict the success of the study in the psychology study program; and (2) the subtest in DAT that has the most influence in predicting the success of the study in the psychology study program is the verbal subtest and the numerical subtest

<p>A number of studies and cases have brought to light the challenges and barriers mature students face as they embark on a course of study. Yet there is no agreed definition of the term ‘mature student’. The first part of this paper presents several definitions of the term found in the contemporary literature. The two prevailing criteria are the typical constraints mature students face while studying and student age. In our study, a survey questionnaire was distributed electronically to 64 mature students at Oxford Business College during August 2021. Our research found that the most concerning issue for those who took part in our survey during the Covid-19 pandemic was reconciling financial obligations associated with education and family responsibilities. This may be a consequence of increased job insecurity during the pandemic. However, only one-third of the mature students in our study said they had significant difficulties in balancing study with other commitments, and slightly more than one fifth had experienced extreme or significant amounts of stress. Most students had succeeded in finding the right balance, albeit with minor difficulties. Interestingly, the results of our correlation analysis showed that stress in managing activities was unrelated to gender and age, while absence from full-time education was significantly positively related to age and unrelated to gender. Stress in managing activities correlated positively with balancing study-related obligations with other life commitments. This result shows that higher levels of stress lead to greater difficulties in achieving a balance between study and other life activities. Furthermore, associations between the period of absence from full-time education prior to enrolment on the current study program and gender and age were statistically insignificant. The results of our multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender and age together explained a statistically significant percentage of variance in stress levels. Additionally, absence from full-time formal education accounted for 2% of the total score variance in stress caused by managing different activities. This finding indicates that longer periods of time spent out of formal education predict higher levels of stress among mature students later on. As we start to move beyond the pandemic, almost two-thirds of respondents said they would prefer lessons to be delivered online once the Covid-19 pandemic is over, while only a minority of them prefer traditional classroom-based lessons (on-campus). This is perhaps no surprise given the substantial time-saving advantages of online learning, the scarcest resource for mature students. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0894/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study examined the predictive validity of the Undergraduate Assessment Program (UP) Aptitude Test, Verbal and Quantitative scores, Remote Associates Test scores, Formula Analysis Test scores, and undergraduate grade-point average (GPA). Criterion variables consisted of Master's GPAs and faculty ratings of six student characteristics. Subjects were 52 students enrolled in the Graduate School at the University of Minnesota majoring in Nursing. Undergraduate GPA correlated .45 with Master's GPA and .35 with one faculty rating. Formula Analysis Test scores correlated from .45 to .70 with all six faculty ratings. Remote Associates Test scores and UP aptitude test verbal and quantitative scores did not correlate at a statistically significant level with any criterion measure. Results show undergraduate GPA to be a valid predictor of graduate success. Although the Formula Analysis Test scores showed predictive ability of faculty ratings, this research instrument requires further study before use as a graduate admissions measure.

Banking companies, including Islamic banking, need to avoid problems that can cause financial failure, which can make the bank unable to carry out its business operations and may end up in bankruptcy, so that the level of soundness of the bank based on risk must always be monitored. Therefore, banks must maintain their financial ratios in accordance with Bank Indonesia decisions and maintain their performance. So analyzing the effect of the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), and the Ratio of Operating Costs to Operating Income (BOPO) on Return On Assets (ROA) in Islamic Banks is considered very important.   This study aims to analyze the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), and Operational Costs on Operating Income (BOPO) on Return On Assets (ROA) at Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. This research includes quantitative research and the type of data used is secondary data. The data used in this study is the ratio of CAR, FDR, BOPO, and ROA for the period 2014–2019 which was obtained from the annual Financial Statements on the official website of each bank.   The population in this study were 14 Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. After passing the purposive sampling stage, there were 6 samples of Sharia Commercial Banks that were suitable for use, namely BCA Syariah, BNI Syariah, Bank Mega Syariah, Bank Muamalat Indonesia, Bank Panin Dubai Syariah and BRI Syariah. The analytical method used in this research is Multiple Linear Regression Analysis.   The results of the partial study with the t-test showed that the CAR and FDR variables had a positive and significant effect on the ROA of Islamic commercial banks. While the BOPO variable has a negative and significant effect on the ROA of Islamic commercial banks. And the results of the f test show that the CAR, FDR, and BOPO variables together have a significant influence on the ROA of Islamic commercial banks. The predictive ability of these three variables on ROA is 82.7%, the remaining 17.3% is explained by other variables outside of this research.   Keywords: Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Operating Expenses per Operating Income (BOPO), Return On Assets (ROA)
