Description
Summary:The purpose of this investigation is to determine the stability of achievement differentials as revealed by scores obtained from objective tests administered during the four years of a high-school curriculum. It is intended to investigate whether differences in achievement as indicated by scores on these tests exhibit such a degree of stability as to justify the use of the results of tests administered during the early terms as indications of later differences. If the differentials do not remain stable, it is proposed to examine the extentand direction of the variations. The relative stability of differentials between the various subjects and intelligence will be examined as well as the trends of scores in the individual subjects and in intelligence.
