ACE Examinations
to Begin October 1
for All BC Pupils
The American method of evalu¬
ating scholastic aptitudes will be
demonstrated on the Pasadena
City College campus October 2
through 5 in the form of the ACE
Psychological Examination for
freshmen.
During' 11 different sessions,
basic communication students
will interpret the various ques¬
tions, and then complete the an¬
swer sheet, “finished by more
people than any other one test,”
according to Dr. Paul Smith, in
charge of the department which
provides facilities and schedules
the hours for the testees.
“THIS TEST is generally ac¬
cepted,” continued Smith, “and
given all over America. Obvious¬
ly, we wouldn’t select a test that
wasn’t good.”
The test measures ability, but
does not include personality or
other factors. Consisting of quan¬
titative and linguistic quizzing,
the scores of the students will be
listed in percentiles. The mathe¬
matics and science areas and lan¬
guage and social science fields
will be the basis of the test.

withdrew from the election on

to make a statement as to her
reasons for withdrawing.
Matt Schafnitz, who hails from

ery way possible.” Schafnitz’ pre¬
vious qualifications are Student

Anderson to Narrate Film
at Opening Tuesday Forum
George F. Anderson will narrate his documentary film,
“Great Britain: Her Economy, Her Traditions” at the Tuesday
Evening Forum, October 2 at 8 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium.
Opening the 1962-63 forum series, the color film takes the
JOHN JOSEPH Risser, psychol¬
ogist, and Elton C. Davis, psy-
chometrist, are responsible for
processing the data, and evaluat¬
ing the tests.
“No test is infallible,” stated a
memo circulated by the psycholo¬
gy office. “Many factors will
cause scores on the test to be low¬
er than they should be.”
Students not feeling well on the
day the test is given, not under¬
standing the directions, or pupils
who tend to panic when a timed
test is administered will be af¬
fected considerably.
THE MEMO added, “. . . many
factors in addition to scholastic
aptitude are responsible for suc¬
cess in college. Efficient and con¬
sistent study habits, good use of
time, keen interest and motiva¬
tion, are among the other fac¬
tors which contribute to scholas¬
tic success.”
California junior colleges have
programs for terminal as well as
transfer students. Freshmen plan¬
ning to transfer to a four year
college, such as UCLA, will want
to compare scholastic aptitude, as
measured by the test, with the
scores of students who attend
UCLA. This type of information
may be obtained from the coun¬
selors.
Scores compiled from the Oc¬
tober testing sessions will not at¬
tempt to measure intelligence, but
only how well each persdn per¬
formed on this particular test.
