This study examined the usefulness of applying the Rasch rating scale model (Andrich, 1978) to high school grade data. ACT Assessment test scores (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) were used as " common items " to adjust for different grading standards in individual high school courses both within and across schools. This scaling approach yielded an ACT Assessment-adjusted high school...

5582 ACT research has found that the joint use of test scores and high school grade point average (HSGPA) provides more information than either test scores or HSGPA alone for predicting college success. Consequently, ACT has advocated for the use of multiple measures when making admission and course placement decisions. This paper aims to help two-year institutions understand the benefits of us...

Specifically, we assess the extent to which predicted first-year college grade point average (GPA) based on high-school grade point average (HSGPA) and SAT scores depends on a student’s ethnicity and gender and whether this difference varies across samples. We compared 257,336 female...
