Various aptitude test scores were correlated with academic grades
received by military officers enrolled in the Navy Management Curriculum
at the United States Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California
.
The resulting coefficients were analyzed to determine if the particular
tests were valid predictors of academic achievement. Additionally,, an
analysis of the data was made using regression techniques in an attempt
to provide an insight into possible cut-off scores for use in selecting
candidates for the Navy Management Curriculum., The tests used in this
study were the Navy Officer Classification Battery (OCB), the Graduate
Record Examination (GRE), and the Navy Officer Qualification Test (OQT).
