Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Thorndike College Entrance Tests in the University of California
A review Of the earlier report revealed the fact that the student could not be depended on for a statement of his standing in the University. The first partial report accepted the student's statement as to his standing. It was found that some students had classified themselves as freshmen just because they were entering students in spite Of the fact that they Often had one or more semester's advanced standing to their credit. The data to be comparable should deal with the entering freshmen only as a group.
In the report submitted herewith, all records have been compared with the Recorder's data, ages were checked against the date Of birth, in fact every effort was made to use as reliable data as possible. NO conclusions are more valid than the reliability of the data upon which they are based. Where the results vary somewhat from those submitted by Dr. Burks, the difference is due to the fact that a more careful selection of data has been made, and that in some cases additional records were available.
