Abstract EN

The present study aimed at determining the predictor variables of grade point average (GPA) and its relationship to other variables of Al-Istiqlal University (IU) cadets in Palestine.

The population of the study consisted of 634cadets.

A purposeful sample (129) cadets was drawn.

To achieve the aims of the study, the researchers obtained data related to junior cadets in the academic year 2012-2013from the Registration and Admission Department at IU.

Such data included cadets' Tawjihi scores, cadets' physical test scores, cadets' ability scores, cadets' personality test, cadets' interviews scores and cadets' majors.

Multiple Regressions and Stepwise Methods were utilized to analysis the data.

Results showed that cadets’ Tawjehi scores was the main predictor of cadets' GPA at IU.

Results also indicated that there were no significant differences in cadets' GPAs due to the study variables (gender and cadets' majors).

On the other hand, there were significant differences in cadets' GPAs due stream of study in Tawjehi in favor of scientific stream.

Based on the findings of the study, the researchers recommended that the admission department should depend on cadets’ Tawjehi scores as a major admission requirement.
