Summary: This study investigated the criterion-related validity of the Reading and Writing components of the Advanced Level GEPT test. Cross-test comparability evidence was investigated by analysing the relationships between the GEPT scores and IELTS bands, and the predictive power of the GEPT scores was investigated in terms of test takers' real life academic performance on different writing tasks in their degree course work and examinations.
