Scores derived from Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) are being widely used for screening students into teacher education programs. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the American College Test (ACT) in predicting success on the PPST. Significant correlations (p < .01) were obtained between scores from the ACT and the tests from the PPST. Regression equations using scores from the ACT and grades from college English courses were used to develop regression equations for the three tests of the PPST.
