Abstract
The members of the personnel department of the Sacramento Junior College have made an empirical study for several years of the achievements and failures of students who had placed in the lower quarter in any section of their college entrance tests. From this study, the assumption has been made that a scientific analysis of data from the records of these students might reveal valuable information which could be used to give students who entered in future years in the same classification a more practical and satisfying college experience.It was the purpose of this study (1) to validate the assumption based on observations by the personnel of the junior college; (2) to analyze and present the findings in an organized arrangement so that the information could be used to help entering students who had placed in the lower quarter of their college tests; (3) to find which predictive measure or measures would serve to indicate future college achievement of those in the lower classification.
