 Cornell Science News: GRE fails to predict graduate school success   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
"With these exceptions, the GRE scores were not useful as predictors of various aspects of graduate performance, including ratings by primary advisers of analytical, creative, practical, research and teaching abilities by primary advisers and ratings of dissertation quality by independent faculty readers," said Wendy M. Williams, associate professor of human development at Cornell University.
She also pointed out that applicants from less privileged backgrounds, who are not as likely to do as well on the GRE as applicants from good preparatory schools, lose out even though they may have the appropriate skills for the profession they desire.
To assess the validity of GREs in predicting success or failure of graduate students, the researchers asked 40 faculty members of psychology at Yale to provide ratings on five scales of the 166 graduate students they had had since 1980.
