It was hypothesized that Ss with some years of college would differ in their ability to predict their scores on a classroom examination according to how they scored on the Locus of Control scale. Results supported the hypothesis, indicating that internals are more accurate predictors of their own academic performance than are externals. Discussion focused on the interaction between locus of control and the nature of the prediction of behavior required of Ss
