The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships that exists between entrance tests scores, for teacher education students, derived from the American College Test (ACT) and the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) and outcomes measures including the National Teacher Examinations (NTE), College Outcomes Measures Project test (ACTCOMP) and overall grade point average (GPA). The subjects included 615 students who had completed a teacher education program and were eligible for licensure. Significant correlations (p < .01) were obtained between all scores from the four tests and GPA. Regression equations using scores from the ACT and PPST were developed to predict NTE and ACTCOMP scores and GPA. ACT scores were the best predictors of the outcomes measures.
