Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore, by the application of multiple regression techniques, the prediction of academic achievement at the ninth grade level by a battery of tests and subtests consisting of the Otis Intelligence Test, Form C, the Differential Aptitude Tests, Form A, and the Iowa Tests of Educational Development, Form X-3, Academic achievement was measured by grades in religion, English, social studies, algebra, Latin, mechanical drawing and the first semester average grade (an average of grades in all subjects). The basic sample consisted of 659 ninth grade samples. The samples of students used in relating several elective subjects to the predictors varied in number; 215 students, mainly boys, were available for mechanical drawing; 618 boys and girls for algebra; and 474 of both sexes for Latin.
