Summary/Abstract: A set of instruments applied at entrance exams for the last two academic years has been rather comprehensive in order to provide good insight into candidates’ skills and characteristics. For the reasons of rationalizing testing instruments which are to be used at entrance exams at this faculty, and for the aim of the research, it is necessary to examine prognostic appropriateness of the testing set of instruments used for selection. For the selection of candidates high-school grades were relevant. The set of instruments used: an essay assignment in Bosnian, a general intelligence test, a social intelligence test, a general knowledge test, and a personality test EPQ. 2007/2008 generation at the Social Pedagogy Department served as a sample. An average grade at the first study year and passing to the next semester served as a criterion. The research results show that the set of instruments used so far does not meet adequate prognostic appropriateness, and that it is valid to use a general intelligence test alone. In terms of grades, an average high-school grade would suffice.
