- Abstract
We assessed students in General Psychology classes and examined their sat/act scores, gpas, and attempted and earned hours. Exams in General Psychology were superior to the sat/act in predicting gpa, supporting the use of an introductory course as a "gateway" for identifying at-risk students and engaging them in academic services.
