The problem of the research was to determine the best predictors of academic success at a Wyoming community college from selected data on the ACT (American College Test), high school class rank, and the high school grade point average; to profile the characteristics of traditional age full-time students attending this community college from categorical data on the ACT; and to cross-validate the research findings of the screening sample of selected cases and a calibration sample of unselected cases randomly drawn from the same population.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The problem of the research was to determine the best predictors of academic success at a Wyoming community college from selected data on the ACT (American College Test), high school class rank, and the high school grade point average; to profile the characteristics of traditional age full-time students attending this community college from categorical data on the ACT; and to cross-validate the research findings of the screening sample of selected cases and a calibration sample of unselected cases randomly drawn from the same population.
520 $a The subjects selected for the study were defined as traditional, age 17-22, full-time enrollees who had their ACT assessment on file at the Wyoming community college. The entire census of students who met these criteria as first-time enrollees for the fall semesters from 1979 to 1983 and who persisted four semesters were used in the five-year ex post facto study.
520 $a The ACT data selected as predictor variables for the study included sex, composite standard score, standard scores for English, math, social science, and natural science, GPA predictor proportion, self-ratings as to leadership, community service and work experience, with projected college major and future vocation used for cross-tabulations. The predictors of academic success were held to the criteria of cumulative college grade point average at the end of two and four semesters, number of total credit hours completed at the end of two and four semesters, indication of major change at the end of two and four semesters, and receipt of the Associate Degree. Data were also tabulated as to subjects' major by division, and if the selected program was vocational or transfer.
520 $a High school grade point average was the best predictor of academic success. ACT composite score loaded heavily into the stepwise multiple regression equations using the ACT predictors as a set and in the equations that included high school rank and GPA. The multiple R's for the cross-validation of the selected and unselected cases validated at a .05 level of significance for all criteria except the two relating to elected major change. Major change was determined not a good criterion for predicting academic success. No conclusions could be made from the addition of the six ACT interest inventory scales to the regression equations. All null hypotheses were rejected at a .05 level of significance. The results of the study determined the best predictors of academic success for persisting students at a Wyoming community college.
