dc.description.abstractThe focus of this minor dissertation is on the relationship between the Matriculation examination results, the Alternative Admissions Research Project (AARP) test scores and the academic success of students in the Bachelor of Business Science (BBusSc) degree programme. This study is particularly focused on the BBusSc Extended Curriculum Programme (ECP) students, and reports on the 2001 to 2003 cohorts for the period 2001 to 2005 to ascertain what value the data available upon admission contribute in terms of predicting success for students from historically disadvantaged backgrounds within the diverse education landscape in South Africa. This study examines and gives a descriptive analysis of the concurrent validity of AARP test scores and the Matriculation examination results and the predictive validity of each set of scores in relation to performance in each academic year of study, as well as the relationship of these scores with retention at university and graduation. The predictive validity of the AARP test results and the Matriculation examination scores alone and in conjunction with other pre-admission data for the Extended Curriculum students are analysed and discussed and then compared to performance, retention and success of Mainstream BBusSc students. The assessment of this validity contrasts the ECP with the mainstream curriculum provisions to highlight the possible effects of the sustained interventions provided by the BBusSc ECP.en_ZA
