title: Selected National League for Nursing achievement test scores as predictors of state board examination scores.
abstract: In a study to formulate regression equations which could be used to predict performance on the licensing examinations of graduates of an associate degree nursing program, selected sets of National League for Nursing achievement test scores were found to be effective predictors of state board examination (SBE) scores. When test score records of graduates for the years 1969-1974 were subjected to stepwise multiple regression analysis, prediction equations were empirically validated by correlation of predicted SBE scores with actual SBE scores obtained by graduates of the program.
