Description This study was undertaken to assist with the guidance of students interested in entering the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah. An attempt has been made to discover some means by which to measure the abilities required for success in this college. Two studies were made to determine the efficiency of selected tests as predictive indices. The criterion of success in the College of Pharmacy is the grade-point-ratio in pharmacy subjects: pharmacy, pharmacology, pharmacognosy, bacteriology, botany, chemistry, mathematics, physiology, physics, and zoology. Sophomore student who were enrolled in the standard third-quarter sophomore course were used as the sample for study I. The General Aptitude Test Battery of the United States Employment Service was administered to them, and other test scores were obtained from the University records for each student. Validity coefficients were computed between the criterion and the scores on each of the following tests: the Cooperative English Test; the Cooperative Achievement Tests in Social Studies, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics; the Iowa Chemistry Aptitude Test; and the G.A.T.B., which consists of aptitude scores for Intelligence, Verbal, Numerical, Spatial, Form Perception, Clerical Perception, Aiming, Motor Speed, and Logic Aptitudes.
