Standardized criterion-referenced achievement testing of undergraduate generalist social work knowledge based on correct answers to specific questions is compared to several normreferenced measures of student learning, including student self-reports and the instructorimposed cumulative grade point average (GPA). Two hypotheses are tested, namely, (a) normreferenced measures systematically overstate content knowledge, and (b) student perception or belief about the ascribed meaning of theGPA inflates self-rated attainments. The implications of additional confirming evidence for the hypotheses are explored with a view to limiting the number of social workers with undergraduate degrees who are permitted to enter the field each year overconfident about their knowledge and practice capabilities.
