GRE Scores: What do the Numbers Mean?

ETS — Listening. Learning. Leading. ® Copyright © 2008 by Educational Testing Service. All rights reserved. ETS, the ETS logo, LISTENING. LEARNING. LEADING. and GRE are registered trademarks of Educational Testing Service (ETS). Independent GRE Validity Research Nathan R. Kuncel, Sarah A. Hazlett, and Deniz S. Ones conducted a meta-analysis of all available GRE validity studies that had been conducted by independent researchers over the past several years. –1,753 independent samples of students –Over 80,000 graduate students Refinements in study included –A very large database of studies –Statistical corrections for restriction of range –Statistical corrections for unreliable criterion measures

ETS — Listening. Learning. Leading. ® Copyright © 2008 by Educational Testing Service. All rights reserved. ETS, the ETS logo, LISTENING. LEARNING. LEADING. and GRE are registered trademarks of Educational Testing Service (ETS). Kuncel, Hazlett & Ones General Test was found to be a “generalizably valid predictor” of –First-year graduate grade point average –Overall graduate grade point average –Comprehensive exam scores –Publication citation counts –Faculty ratings Correlations with degree attainment and research productivity were consistently positive, but not statistically significant in all cases.

ETS — Listening. Learning. Leading. ® Copyright © 2008 by Educational Testing Service. All rights reserved. ETS, the ETS logo, LISTENING. LEARNING. LEADING. and GRE are registered trademarks of Educational Testing Service (ETS). Results of Kuncel et al. Research A follow-up study by Kuncel indicated the GRE General Test has similar levels of predictive validity for both master's and doctoral level programs. The GRE General Test has better predictive validity than undergraduate grades or letters of recommendation. Subject Tests were found to be better predictors of success than were either the General Test or undergraduate grade point average. These data strongly suggest that the GRE is a valid predictor of graduate student performance across disciplines, degree levels, age of students, etc.

Appropriate Score Use Test scores should be used along with other information Cut-off scores should not be used as the sole criterion V, Q and AW should be treated as separate and independent information Scores on AW should be on the 6-point scale Decisions should not be based on small score differences Subject test content should be reviewed GRE Scores are not to be used as a credential, for making employment decisions, etc.

The Verbal and Quantitative Score Scales of the Revised General Test Will Change Current scales are out of alignment –Domestic Means: V=477 Q=560 –International Means: V=459 Q=716 Professional standards require new score scales We will work with the graduate community to identify the most appropriate way to set the scales We will provide information/data to assist score users during the transition to the revised score scales
