S ummary . The relationships between class of degree in psychology from one department and ( a ) interview ratings, ( b ) two adult intelligence tests, and ( c ) advanced‐level examinations were examined in a sample of 145 students from four year‐groups. Roughly the same amount of variance of degree class could be accounted for by using the interviewer rating and intelligence test scores as by using prior academic performance. The best prediction combination included both interviewer ratings and A‐level performance.
