[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But when were those studies done? If the data is more than 10 years old, it may no longer be accurate given the rapid increase in grade inflation. [/quote] OP - Both Forbes and U Chicago research are dated 2020. There was research saying the same thing many years ago as well. I have never seen research that test scores trump GPAs for predicting college success. Where are you seeing research that grade inflation is a huge issue? I have not seen that but it may exist. There is recent research that math scores are way down putting US students at international disadvantage and that ES reading comprehension levels have dropped due to not teaching reading phonemics (linking sounds to letters). But they are different issues from grade inflation. It makes sense to me that GPAs are better predictors than test scores for future college success (as long as grades are earned honestly).[/quote]
