RESEARCH + PUBLICATIONS
The authors investigate the information content of two commonly used admission tests, namely
the Graduate Management Admission Test and the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). The analysis extends prior research by investigating the incremental information
content of individual components from one admission test conditional on the information
contained in the other admission test and undergraduate grade point average. The results
suggest that for international applicants in master of accountancy programs, the TOEFL test is
the only one that yields statistically significant incremental information content about academic
success. If admissions officers were to eliminate one of the tests, it should not be the TOEFL.
