 Statement of the Problem

1. What is the profile of students placed on probation in terms of:

a. Sex
b. Type of High School
2. What is the relationship between Grade Point Average (GPA)
and:
a. CET Total Score
b. CET Subtest Score
c. Sex
d. Type of High School
3. What is the relationship between the College Entrance Test
total score and:
a. Sex
b. Type of High School
c. GPA
d. Grades in English, Math, and Science subjects
e. Grades in major subjects
4. What is the difference in the academic performance of students
placed on probation when grouped according to:
a. Sex
b. Type of High School

5. What is the difference in the College Entrance Test result of

students placed on probation when grouped according to:
a. Sex
b. Type of High School
 Results
 54.23% were females

 56.22% came from private schools

 Negligible correlations were found between and among

the variables
 GPAs of females were higher than males
 Students from private schools performed better than
public schools in the College Entrance Test

 No significant differences were found in academic

performance and CET results when grouped according to
sex and type of high school
 Findings
1. Sex and type of high school are not predictors of CET results
and academic performance

2. CET total and subtest scores are not predictors of academic

performance
3. CET results are not predictors of grades in English, Math and
Science, and major subjects
 Conclusion

Other factors such as motivation, teacher factors,

and subject demands come into play in the performance
of students in entrance exams and in school.

Recommendation
Researchers to explore the role of other factors or
variables on performance.
