Tables of correlations of statistically weighted and unweighted subtests of the Iowa high school content examination and the American Council on Education psychological examination with a criterion of first-semester grades for samples from academic years 1934-1937 are given separately for business administration, engineering, journalism, and liberal arts colleges. Forecasting efficiency of the subtests of the Iowa and American Council examinations vary significantly for the different colleges. Correlations between rank in high school graduating class and the criterion ranged between .47 and .60. Multiple correlations above .70 are reported.
