Abstract
Every test designed for purposes of admission is expected to possess psychometric properties of a test in order to address the social implications of tests. This study was aimed to determine the predictive validity of College Entrance Examination Questions (CEEQ) for 2014/2015 academic session. An expos-facto research design was used on a sample of 105 candidate entrance scores and Cumulative Grade Point Averages (CGPA) from seven programs of study. Data were obtained from the College Registry and various departments running the programs. Data collected were analyzed, using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20. Result of analysis showed that CEEQ score could predict students’ CGPA by 2.8% only. It was also determined that CEEQ has a weak but positive relationship with CGPAs (16.7%). On running the data on simple regression statistics revealed that the CEEQ do not predict CGPAs significantly as p =.089 (P>.05). It was concluded that CEEQ was not valid hence recommendation was made that College management should look forward to develop a standardized test for admission purposes. KEY WORDS: Psychometric properties, predictive validity, questions, test, entrance, academic performance.
