The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive validity of composite scores on the National Educational Development Tests (NEDT-C) scores in the prediction of College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (CEEB-SAT) total (T) scores. The subjects were 69 students in a private college preparatory school for girls. The data consisted of NEDT-C scores obtained during the subjects' ninth grade year and SAT-T scores obtained during the subjects' twelfth grade year. The NEDT-C yielded a correlation of .76 with the SAT-T. This correlation was statistically significant at the .01 level.
