ABSTRACT

The American Institutes of Research graciously cooperated in working out an arrangement by which SAT score files could be searched for a sample of 20,359 participants in the TALENT survey while the confidentiality of both data files was maintained. The data bases for the TALENT and the NLS surveys are well known and well documented. A detailed comparison of the two surveys has been made by Schrader and Hilton (1975) (see chapter 3); therefore, details of the samples and variables are not repeated here.
