Scores from three mathematics tests of the College Entrance Examination Board were examined in order to determine the effect on the scores of (1) choice of test, (2) amount of training in mathematics, and (3) recency of training in mathematics. Groups of candidates were paired in a number of comparisons and matched by means of a regression technique which is described. On the average, students of similar ability made comparable scores on the mathematical section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and on the Comprehensive Mathematics Test. The scores of candidates who took the Intermediate Mathematics Test averaged substantially higher than those of comparable students who took either of the other two tests. A greater amount of mathematical training and more recent training were both found to be positively related to scores on the mathematical section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and on the Intermediate Mathematics Test, but the effect of recency appeared to be less than one might expect.
