The ability of the Stanford Early School Achievement Test (SE-SAT), Primary Battery II, to predict scores on the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT), Primary Battery I, was assessed by using pupils from a large midwest suburban school district. Observed SESAT-SAT correlations ranged from .257 to .723. All of the 72 correlations were statistically significant. Obtained correlations were then compared with previously reported results. Comparisons between 66 relations common to both studies showed 19 (29%) to be significantly different. These differences ranged as high as .38. All of these significant differences were associated with higher values for the sample used in the current study.
