Abstract

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determinate the predictive validity of graduating high school tests according to the success or failure of students that were admitted at the University of Costa Rica (UCR). Method. This measure of predictive validity consisted of relating the scorings obtained by the students in these tests in 1998 with the averages praised of the courses of School of General Studies and Mathematics, at UCR during the triennium 19992001. The investigation was descriptive-transactional with a correlation focus, and the estimation of the predictive degree of the tests, was carried out by means of the multiple regression models and the correlation product-moment, r of Pearson. It was formed with a representative sample of students that entered to all the headquarters in the University of Costa Rica in 1999. Results. Independent variables that explained the variability of General Studies’s courses are sex, providence and test average. In the case of matematic’s classes, variability was explained by sex, school schedule and test average.
