This research aims to predict the graduates' GPA of the Physical Education and Kinesiology Program at Qassim University by using the following admission tests results (High school Rate -Academic Achievement Test- General Aptitude Test-Program Admission Tests). The correlational approach was used. The sample included (115) graduates from the Physical Education and Kinesiology Program at Qassim University for the academic year May 2020 AD, and they achieved the required number of credit hours (134 CH), and they exerted the admission tests for the program in May 2017.
