Abstract
In this issue a description is presented of an ongoing study of the ACER Test of Learning Ability (TOLA). It was decided by ACER early last year to carry out a series of studies investigating a number of aspects of the test, such as its validity and the effect of reading ability on test scores. The first study (essentially a pilot study) was carried out in October last year (1971) and was primarily an investigation of the concurrent validity of the test. In August this year a further study will be carried out, examining the effect of the verbal nature of the test on the measurement of general ability and consequently on the assessment of learning potential.
