If higher scores on the ACT are found to correlate with higher GPAs the first year of college, the ACT can be said to have:
A
Content validity
B
Split-half reliability
C
Predictive validity
D
Construct validity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Past research has not proven a direct correlation between high school GPA and ACT scores. In fact the American College Testing organization collects data indicating what type of high school each student that takes their test attends, but ACT does not use the data for research purposes.

Detailed explanation-2: -While each additional GPA point increased the chances of a student graduating from college, students’ ACT scores didn’t correlate with college graduation rates at all-in some schools, higher ACT scores even resulted in lower graduation rates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Even though it has been found that there is a correlation between the specific high school a student attends and their college graduation rate, there is a much stronger correlation between a student’s high school GPA, regardless of what high school they attended, and that student completing college.

Detailed explanation-4: -ACT Score Validity: The ACT total scores are valid for five years after the testing year in which you tested.
