Graduates of five associate degree nursing programs were studied to examine the value of 11 prediction equations in determining 1) whether entering students would eventually take the State Board Examination (SBE), 2) entering students' predicted scores on the five SBE tests for admission purposes, and 3) entering students' predicted scores on the five SBE tests for remediation purposes. Two prediction batteries were used. The first battery included 18 variables which would be available prior to admission to nursing school; the second, those 18 variables plus nursing school semester grade averages and grade averages squared. Students who entered nursing school but did not eventually take the SBE were found to be significantly different from students who did take the SBE. Prediction of the SBE scores was improved by including current achievement information in the prediction battery. Examples of how to use the prediction equations which include preadmission and current achievement information are provided.
