Abstract:
In recent years various studies have resulted in the generalization that college success, as measured by grades earned, is not closely related to secondary school training in a specific subject matter area (3, 4, 5). If this conclusion is taken at face value, it can be assumed that the various regulations of college admissions committee which uniformly require specific credit (s) in particular subject matter areas for admittance are in fact, groundless. Nevertheless, colleges continue to require various courses as entrance prerequisites presumably because they and their administrations suspect the existence of a beneficial relationship between secondary training and college level performance in specific subjects.
