GRE and success at grad school. If grad schools pay special attention

2. Given restriction of range on a whole host of predictors used to
select graduate students, it would be surprising if something "novel"
did not predict better. It is at least something that varies among grad
students, unlike the other data against which it is being unfairly
compared.
And of course the GRE was never intended to predict graduate GPA
among students accepted to graduate programs -- its purpose was (and
is) to predict which among the pool of applicants to graduate
programs would successfully complete those programs.
That would be the only fair test of its effectiveness.
