Pakistan Medical and Dental Council has recently replaced 'composite scheme' of first Professional MBBS examination with 'split scheme'. In composite scheme First Professional MBBS examination is offered after 2 years in medical college while in split scheme the same examination is split into two parts, Part-I after first year and Part-II after completion of 2nd year in medical college.
This study analyzed the results of two batches of students successively passing the 1st professional MBBS examination at Nishtar Medical College, Multan under two different evaluation systems. One batch of students (N-49) passed under composite scheme in 2001 while the other batch (N-50) passed under the split scheme of 1st professional MBBS examination in 2002.
Results showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the pass percentage of students under the split scheme (74.65%) as compared with the composite scheme (64.03%). Students secured more total marks (615.36 +/- 35.99) under the split system as compared with the total marks obtained (587.22 +/- 33.85) under the composite system. More students (65.35%) obtained first division (60% or more marks) under the split scheme as compared with the composite scheme (36.29%).
Students' performance seems to be better under the split scheme as compared with the composite scheme of 1st professional MBBS examination.
巴基斯坦医学和牙科委员会最近用“分段考试方案”取代了医学学士（MBBS）第一专业考试的“综合考试方案”。在综合考试方案中，医学学士第一专业考试在医学院学习两年后进行，而在分段考试方案中，同一考试被分为两部分，第一部分在第一年结束后进行，第二部分在医学院第二年结束后进行。
本研究分析了在两种不同评估系统下，先后通过木尔坦尼什塔尔医学院医学学士第一专业考试的两批学生的成绩。一批学生（N = 49）于2001年在综合考试方案下通过考试，另一批学生（N = 50）于2002年在医学学士第一专业考试的分段考试方案下通过考试。
结果显示，与综合考试方案（64.03%）相比，分段考试方案下学生的及格率显著提高（P<0.05）（74.65%）。与综合考试系统下获得的总成绩（587.22 +/- 33.85）相比，分段考试系统下学生获得的总成绩更高（615.36 +/- 35.99）。与综合考试方案（36.29%）相比，更多学生（65.35%）在分段考试方案下获得一等成绩（60%或更高分数）。
与医学学士第一专业考试的综合考试方案相比，分段考试方案下学生的表现似乎更好。
