The MOS and DAT batteries both have been cross-validated against final marks at the end of the 10th grade. Using multiple regression equations derived in earlier studies, predictions were made of final marks attained by the cross-validation samples at the end of the 11th and 12th grades. Cross-validity coefficients determined by correlating the actual and predicted final marks attest to the greater relative efficiency of the MOS battery.
