This report provides updated validity evidence for using the SAT to predict first-year college grade point average (FYGPA) for the 2012 cohort. The following are appended: (1) Institutions Providing First-Year Outcomes Data for the 2012 Cohort; (2) Raw Correlations of SAT and HSGPA with FYGPA by Institutional Characteristics; and (3) Raw Correlation of SAT Scores and HSGPA with FYGPA by Subgroups.
