Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which diploma graduates' Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) predicts their success in teachers' professional licensing written exam result (TPLWER). A total of 588 graduating students (317 males and 271 females) were included in the study. Correlation, simple regression analyses, and independent sample t-test were employed on the data. The result revealed a statistical significant correlation between CGPA and TPLWER. CGPA appeared to be valid predictor of success of TPLWER and accounted for 33.40% of the variation in TPLWER. The results indicated statistically significant gender differences in diploma graduates' CGPA and TPLWER.
