This study simply The current study investigated relationships between provides evidence to validate that claim. scores on the verbal, mathematics, and writing sections It is important to explain why using high school of the PSAT/NMSQT® (as well as the PSAT/NMSQT grades or some other measure of high school achievement composite: verbal + mathematics + writing scores) and instead of PSAT/NMSQT scores as an initial screen of the following indicators of academic achievement in high scholarship entrants would be unfeasible and unfair. school: years of study, participation in specific math and Many high schools are unwilling or unable to provide English language arts courses, high school grade point individual course grades for all of the juniors in their average (HSGPA), academic intensity, and participation school. Individual course grades would be needed and performance in Advanced Placement Program® to compute a standardized indicator of high school (AP®) courses. It was hypothesized that students who performance since students complete different courses have greater academic achievements in high school earn and high schools often employ different grading systems. higher scores on the PSAT/NMSQT. This hypothesis Also, because grades often lack comparability within was evaluated by analyzing PSAT/NMSQT scores, and between high schools, basic issues of fairness are questionnaire responses, and AP grades from 857,375 associated with using them as an initial screen for students. The results showed that there are moderate scholarship determination. Finally, high school grades to strong relationships between indicators of academic cannot be used to make fine distinctions between achievement in high school and PSAT/NMSQT scores. students in the top 2 to 3 percent of the population. According to the 2005 College-Bound Seniors report, which presented data for high school graduates in the Introduction year 2005 who participated in the SAT Program, 42 percent of students reported an HSGPA equivalent to a grade of A- or higher and 24 percent reported an HSGPA The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship equivalent to a grade of A or higher; 6 percent had an Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is cosponsored by HSGPA equivalent to a grade of A+ (College Board, 2005, the College Board and National Merit Scholarship p. 2). So high school grades would provide an insufficient Corporation (NMSC). It serves as a practice test for the source of information for an initial screen of scholarship SAT Reasoning Test™ (SAT®) and provides students with entrants. an opportunity to enter NMSC scholarship competitions. It is also important to note that the NMSC does rely More than 2.5 million students from more than 20,000 heavily on grades and other information about students’ high schools take the PSAT/NMSQT each year. About high school course work and academic performance in half the students who take the test are in their junior designating Finalists and in selecting students who receive year of high school, which is the year they are eligible for scholarships. This information, however, is considered NMSC scholarship competitions. only after PSAT/NMSQT scores have been used as an The PSAT/NMSQT measures skills in three general initial screen of scholarship entrants. academic areas that are important for success in college: This study hypothesized that students who have verbal reasoning, mathematics problem solving, and greater academic achievements in high school earn higher writing skills.

Participants This study analyzed relationships between scores on the verbal, mathematics, and writing sections of the PSAT/NMSQT, as well as the PSAT/NMSQT composite The analysis began with a data set that contained all of (verbal + mathematics + writing scores) or Selection Index, the students who graduated in May or June 2002 and and the following indicators of academic achievement in participated in at least one College Board program (i.e., AP, high school: years of study within several academic areas, SAT, or PSAT/NMSQT). This data set was assembled by participation in specific math and English language arts matching separate data files from each College Board testing courses, HSGPA, academic intensity, and participation and program. In order to protect against redundancy, multiple performance in AP courses. This study was conducted records for a student were purged and only the latest score because one of the reasons the NMSC uses the PSAT/NMSQT information from each testing program was preserved. to identify pools of candidates who qualify for recognition by There were 2,012,028 students in the original data set.

Freeberg (1988) reported did not answer some or all of the SAT Questionnaire that “key items of student-reported information were items and were unable to be classified. The sum of the shown to possess high levels of accuracy” (p. 15) and two academic-intensity variables was also computed. Freeberg, Rock, and Pollack (1989) reported that the Scores on this new variable—labeled overall academic self-reported academic information from the SAT intensity—ranged from zero to six points.

A table was using an approach that Bridgeman, Pollack, and Burton constructed to present the proportion of students within (2004) developed based on Adelman (1999). For academic each PSAT/NMSQT mathematics, verbal, and writing intensity in math and science, students earned three scoreband by five categories of AP participation: 0, 1, 2, points if they took two or more AP Exams in a math or 3, and 4 or more AP courses taken; and three categories science field (i.e., biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, of average AP grades: less than or equal to 3, 3.01 to 3.99, statistics, computer science, or environmental science), and greater than or equal to 4. It is important to note that two points if they took one AP Exam in a math or science a student was deemed an “AP participant” if that student 3 took an AP Exam, and that approximately 20 percent and percent of test-takers by years of study within of students in AP courses do not actually take an AP each academic area (see Appendix B). This table allows Exam. These latter analyses were examined to investigate the reader to refer to the number of students used to relationships between other sources of academic rigor compute each of the means presented in Table 3. and the PSAT/NMSQT. Mean PSAT/NMSQT scores and standard deviations were also computed by intended Course Participation college major (see Appendix A). Table 4 shows the mean verbal, writing, and composite PSAT/NMSQT scores by participation in various Results and English language arts courses. Slight differences in mean PSAT/NMSQT scores were observed between students Discussion who participated in courses like British literature or literature of a country other than the United States and Britain and those who did not, with students who Years of Study participated in these courses having higher PSAT/NMSQT scores on average. One possible explanation of this Table 3 shows the relationship between mean verbal, difference is that high-achieving students take these mathematics, writing, and composite PSAT/NMSQT courses because their content goes beyond the standard scores and years of study in several different academic high school curriculum. areas; Figure 1 plots these relationships graphically. The Table 5 shows the mean mathematics and composite results indicate that students with more years of study PSAT/NMSQT scores by math course participation.

Large differences in mean PSAT/NMSQT least rigorous to most rigorous is algebra, geometry, scores were found between students who participated in trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus. Table 5 shows honors courses and those who did not and between that students who took more rigorous math courses students who took three years of study and those who had higher mean PSAT/NMSQT scores. It is important took four years of study. The highest mean difference (2.7 to note, however, that most students take courses like points) was observed on the mathematics section between trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus after they take the students who took more than four years of math and PSAT/NMSQT, but the students who go on to take these students who took three years of math. courses are most likely preparing with more rigorous In order to more fully interpret the results in Table courses (relative to the standard curriculum) at the time 3, another table is presented to provide the number that they take the PSAT/NMSQT. 200 High School Grade Point Average Arts and Music English Foreign and Classical Languages Cohen (1988) established guidelines regarding the Math strength of correlations, which state that correlations Natural Science 175 Social Science and History of about .10 are small, correlations of about .30 are e medium, and correlations of about .50 are large (pp. osit 79–81).
