The study made use of the descriptive-correlational method of research in which standardized instruments were the primary data gathering tool. The respondents of the study were selected graduate school students from a private Catholic university in Malolos. The data were presented using tables and the results of the study were tabulated and processed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPPS). The study revealed the students’ academic performance in the following categories: (1) Verbal Reasoning - 8.36 (average);(2) Non-Verbal Reasoning - 14.65 (superior); (3) Reading Vocabulary - 10.80 (average); (4) Reading Comprehension-16.20 (superior); and (5) Math Application - 9.77 (average). Moreover, the results of students’ performance in board examination showed that 80% were satisfactory and 20% were very satisfactory. The findings of the study indicated that students’ scholastic abilities bore no significant effect on students’ performance in board examination when considering the joint effects of all variables on scholastic abilities.
