This workbook shows the effectiveness of the three main quantitative college admissions criteria: SAT's, ACT's and high school GPA. College admissions offices spend countless hours working with this data attempting to understand the mark of successful future collegiates.

This workbook shows us that high school GPA is almost always lower than college GPA, decreasing its use as a predictor of collegiate performance. Furthermore, it indicates that the ACT and SAT GPA predictions are optimistic for the population in this study. The scatterplot on shows that the ACT is generally a poor indicator of college GPA.
