| Abstract | Previous research has shown that the mean quantitative score on the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test or GRE quantitative score declines with the examinee's age, while the mean GRE verbal score remains relatively constant. It is assumed that the age-related decline in quantitative score is due, at least in part, to an increase in time away from formal academic work. One hypothesis is that taking formal quantitative coursework, such as that provided in graduate school, should cause nonrecent graduates' mean GRE quantitative scores to rebound to a level that is closer to that of recent college graduates. To test this hypothesis, 264 recent graduates and 66 nonrecent graduates whose preadmission GRE scores were available and who had some quantitative coursework were identified. All were administered an abbreviated General Test. The results failed to support the hypothesis. The difference between recent and nonrecent graduates' scores was just as pronounced, relative to scale, as was the difference on the first (preadmission) GRE test. Possible reasons for the results are discussed. One table and one figure present study findings. (Contains seven references.) (Author/SLD) |
