predictive validity unless students with disabilities are given accommodations in their college courses as well.
Hence, examinations of the the stability of such estimates over time provides essential evidence of the validity, and in this
case predictive validity, of the interpretations and uses of such scores over time.
While faint signals of what we
call predictive validity might be observed across VAMs, what folks like Kane overlook or avoid is that very often these faint signals do not remain constant over time.
Over half of colleges used the Accuplacer for placement into math and English courses; the Compass, which was taken off of the market last November due to

Early Krosnick research («Maximizing Questionnaire Quality», 1999) saw ranking questions as having
greater predictive validity, but a number of studies since, include his own later research, show rating questions as having greater validity (Krosnick, Thomas, and Shaeffer, 2003; Maio, Roese, Seligman, Katz, 1996).
Previous studies have
demonstrated predictive validity between self - reported crying proneness and observed crying episodes (Kraemer & Hastrup, 1986), so we reasoned that self - reported crying proneness was a reasonable estimate of actual crying episodes.

with predictive validity, e.g., whether answers to assessment items predict other behaviors in other situations, is not primary — having friends is the end goal assessed by the report card, not having friends as a predictor of something else.
