If You Want to Predict the Grades for a Group

question 4

Multiple Choice

If you want to predict the grades for a group of first-year graduate students in physics, you can generally predict better from their GRE verbal scores than from their GRE quantitative scores. The main explanation for this observation is that

• A) physics graduate students vary much in their verbal scores and only slightly in their quantitative scores.
• B) the verbal part of the GRE has a higher reliability than the quantitative part does.
• C) the first year of graduate school concentrates more on verbal materials than it does on quantitative materials, even in physics.
• D) the mean verbal score is higher than the mean quantitative score, even for physics graduate students.
