Abstract
This thesis investigates and evaluates the effect of
lowered Basic Test Battery (BTB) selection scores on rephasals
and disenrollments at selected Coast Guard Class A
schools. It analyzes the differences in rephasal rate and
disenrollment rate for Storekeeper, Subsistence Specialist,
and Radioman Schools for the year prior to (FY 1976) and
the year after (FY 1977) the lowering of the BTB selection
scores (which occurred in July, 1976) . It compares the
performance of students entering these schools with the
lower BTB scores with those students entering with the
higher BTB scores during FY 1977. In addition, it analyzes
the relationship "between the successful completion of these
schools and the BTB selection scores.
The results indicate that students with BTB scores lower
than the earlier (higher) cutoff tend to have higher rephasal
and disenrollment rates than students with the
higher BTB scores. If the input percentage of the lower-scoring
students should increase, there is likely to be a
significant increase in both the rephasal and disenrollment
rates for all three schools.
