| Summary: | In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between the academic achievement levels of conservatory students and the exam scores considered in the selection of students to conservatories. The research also sets out to determine the predictive power of these variables on the academic achievement of the students. This quantitative study adopts a correlational research model. Correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the relationship between the predictors and the predicted variables. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that the equation showing that the scores obtained in higher education exam, special talent exam and secondary school achievement scores have an effect on the academic achievement of the conservatory students was significant. It was also revealed that at least one variable entered this equation. Higher education exam and special talent exam scores alone predicted the academic achievement averages of the conservatory students at a significant level. On the other hand, it was understood that the secondary school achievement score did not seem to have any significant effect on academic achievement alone. |
