FPCD-79-46 1 (1979-05-15)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaazeh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL I O,9)J Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Federal Employment Examinations: Do They Achieve Equal Opportunity And Merit Principle Goals? This study focused on the Professional and Administrative Career Examination (PACE) and the Junior Federal Assistant, Account- ant-Auditor, and Social Worker examina- tions. GAO found that PACE and the Junior Fed- eral Assistant examination screen out black applicants at a much higher rate than whites and that few blacks who pass the tests score high enough for a realistic job opportunity. The Office of Personnel Management believes that there is a clear relationship between performance on PACE and job per- formance. Critics of the test say that this relationship has not been adequately proven. This report does not conclude whether PACE or the Junior Federal Assistant exam- ination results in adverse impact, which is a question the courts must answer, but it does make recommendations to the Director, Office of Personnel Management, which should result in better recordkeeping and test validation. ; (),4 6ZM 109356 FPCD-79-46 MAY 15, 1979 LM109356
