Abstract
Reliable estimates of an individual student's fitness for college work are important in determining whether or not he should be admitted to college. Prominent educators and others interested in our educational system realize that before we permit a candidate to enter college we should answer two questions concerning him. (1) Can this candidate probably maintain a satisfactory record in his college studies? (2) If so, is he, in other respects also the sort of individual whom we want in our student body?
In this study we have confined ourselves to the question of the candidate's scholastic ability. We want to know whether the candidate for college entrance has enough natural ability to do the academic work of a college.
Some institutions of higher learning have attempted to answer this question. Standards have been set up by which to judge the probable scholastic success of the candidate seeking admission. [Taken from introduction]
