Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of the average of
high school grades at the university grade point average for students of
Amman Arab University and to indicate its effectiveness as a criterion
for accepting students in universities and distributing them to various
university specializations. The study population consisted of all Amman
Arab University students who graduated from the university during the
years (2014 to 2018) based on their averages in high school and reached
(459) students. The results of the study showed that there is no
statistically significant correlation between the secondary level and the
university grade point average for students in Amman Arab University,
while there are significant differences in the correlation coefficient
between the secondary and the university grade point average depending
on the gender variable, and did not show significant differences in the
correlation coefficient between the secondary rate The university grade
point average, according to the variable for the general secondary branch.
While there is a statistical significance for the percentage of explained
variation from total variation in the cumulative average for the Faculty of
Arts from the faculties of the university and with a percentage (0.08%) of
the total variance. The study recommends the necessity of reviewing the
use of the general secondary rate as a criterion for university admission,
establishing a national institution concerned with testing and
measurement matters in general, designing a general admission test and
admission tests specific to each university specialization, and
establishing a national institution concerned with testing and standards
affairs and disseminating it for university admission purposes.
