As students gain more educational experience, their skills, knowledge, and abilities become more diverse and specialized. General aptitude tests may not fully capture these specialized skills, leading to a decrease in their predictive validity for students with more educational experience. Specialty or domain-specific tests may be more effective in predicting performance for these students.
