ABSTRACT his study was conducted to determine the predictive validity of the SRA-PMA 5-7 Tests for the primary pupils at the Silliman University Elementary School. The The existence of relationships between the scores obtained on this particular school aptitude tests and the final grades obtained by 206 primary pupils in their first second and third grade levels at S,U. E. S. during the school years 1976-1979 was verified by the use of the Pearson Product Moment formula of correlation. Regression analysis was performed and regression equations were derived. The se equations were used for developing the prediction tables for predicting pupils ! final grades in their first three primary grade levels at S.U.E. S. Results of the study indicate substantial and significant correlations between the variables equated in this study, namely: l. the Total Test Scores and final general averages in each of the three primary grade levels; 2. the Read ing Readiness Subtest Scores and final grades in Language Arts in each of the three primary grade levels: and 3. the Quantitative Readiness Subtest Scores and final grades in Elementary Math in each of the three primary grade levels. The marked and significant correlations between the test 8cores (Total Test, Reading Readiness Subtest, Quantitative Readiness Subtest) and the final grades (General Average , Language Arts and Elementary Mathematics) in each of the three primary grade levels provide the basis for using the derived regression equations in developing the prediction tables for the purpose of predicting the mOst likely final grade a student may obtain in Language Arts, Elementary Mathematics and General Average during a particular level in the primary grades. From the findings of this study, the following recommendations are offered: l. That the use of the SRA-PMA 5-7 Tests as an evaluative and admission tool should be continued in the pre-school and elementary departments. 2. That the test results should be considered in planing for programs and strategies in instruction, remediation and guidance, 3. That further study should be conducted on the se tests for consistency of the recent findings. by Rebecca C. Torres.
