| Abstract: | The College Entrance Examination Board sponsors the subject of this review, the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program. Aside from the test booklet and answer sheet, the published materials associated with the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program are as follows: CGP--What it's like, Using your CGP report, CGP--A program for two-year colleges and vocational-technical institutes, CGP Interpretive Manual, and A counselor's guide to CGP. This review discusses the various inputs, outputs, psychometric characteristics, and student use of the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program. After making comments on the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program, the reviewer questions just what the utility of the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program is for the student, and question whether it has any for the college which uses it. The decision to use the program should be made thoughtfully. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
