由于获得学校成绩单或科目记录通常不切实际或不可能，许多研究人员依靠大学生准确地自我报告他们的学业成绩作为数据收集程序的一部分。本研究旨在探讨学生学业成绩自评量表的信度和效度。正如预期的那样，研究发现自我报告的测试分数的总体有效性很高。然而，自我报告和实际SAT分数之间的相关性显着低于自我报告和实际ACT综合分数的相关性。这项研究也证实了先前的研究，发现当学生在报告他们的分数不准确，他们中的一个不成比例的多报他们的分数。同样与其他研究一致的是，这项研究发现，在这两项测试中成绩较低的学生在报告分数时准确性要低得多。
Because it is often impractical or impossible to obtain school transcripts or records on subjects, many researchers rely on college students to accurately self-report their academic record as part of their data collection procedures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of student self-reported academic performance. As expected the study finds overall validity of self-reported test scores to be high. However, correlations between self-reported and actual SAT scores are significantly lower than correlations for self-reported and actual ACT Composite scores. This study also confirms prior research which found that when students are inaccurate in reporting their scores, a disproportionate number of them over-report their scores. Also consistent with other studies, this study finds that lower achieving students for both tests are much less accurate when reporting their scores.
