This study is concerned with identifying and measuring the self-made academic predictions of junior college students. Scores on the College Opinion Survey (COS) were related to high school rank (HSR), subsequent firstquarter grades in college (GPA), and scholastic aptitude test scores (MSAT) (ACT). COS scores for junior college students were compared to scores of freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. Student estimates of relative performance and ability (COS1) were significantly (p?.01) related to past and future academic performance and aptitude variables. Feelings about the importance of grades (COS2) were not related to scholastic aptitude but were related (p?.01) to future academic performance. Feelings about the importance of grades (COS2) were related to previous performance only for females. © 1972 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
