September 17, 2025 · GELPS Blog

A new study published in the Journal of Educational Assessment demonstrates that GELPS scores are strong predictors of first-year academic performance in English-medium universities. The study, conducted across 20 partner institutions with over 5,000 students, found that GELPS scores explained 35% of variance in first-year GPA — comparable to IELTS and TOEFL. The research provides further evidence that GELPS is a valid and reliable tool for admissions decisions.
