PREDICTING STUDENT ACCOMPLISHMENT IN COLLEGE FROM THE ACT ASSESSMENT

In the interest of human and social values, educational institutions should be concerned with finding students who will do outstanding things outside the classroom and in later life as well as students who have the ability to get satisfactory grades. If we are to find such students, we need a better record of students' competencies and achievement during the high school years. Further, we should consider such measures important in their own right rather than weak supplenentary measures to remedy the slight defects of conventional aptitude and achievement tests.
