To evaluate the importance and efficiency of structured oral examination (SOE). This is a retrospective study, has been designed to compare the newly adopted structured oral examination (SOE) with that of the traditional oral examination (TOE). This study was conducted at the department of physiology during the year 2006, on 607 2nd year medical students of Mymensingh Medical College and 106 students from some other medical colleges who appeared in the first professional examination under Dhaka University from 2003-2006. For this purpose, scores achieved by the students in physiology in first professional examination for 4 successive years (2003-2006) were analyzed. The examinations in (2003-2004) and (2005-2006) were conducted under TOE and SOE respectively. Mean score achieved in SOE and TOE was 67+/-.02 and 57+/-.003 respectively. The difference is statistically significant. The pass percentage in SOE is 94.70% and 90.3% in TOE and the difference is significant. Maximum number of students in SOE attained score in the range of 60-69 but in TOE scores attained by maximum frequency fall in the range of 50-59. This observation indicates improvement in student's performance by quality and success rate in SOE. Therefore SOE is a more effective, skill full technique and superior to TOE in assessing student's competency and cognitive ability. The need and skill of SOE over the TOE in assessing oral part of examination has been proved.
评估结构化口试（SOE）的重要性和效率。这是一项回顾性研究，旨在将新采用的结构化口试（SOE）与传统口试（TOE）进行比较。本研究于2006年在生理学系开展，对象为607名迈门辛医学院二年级医学生以及106名来自其他医学院且于2003 - 2006年参加达卡大学第一次专业考试的学生。为此，分析了学生在连续4年（2003 - 2006年）第一次专业考试中生理学科目的成绩。其中，2003 - 2004年的考试采用传统口试（TOE），2005 - 2006年的考试采用结构化口试（SOE）。结构化口试（SOE）和传统口试（TOE）的平均成绩分别为67±0.02和57±0.003。差异具有统计学意义。结构化口试（SOE）的及格率为94.70%，传统口试（TOE）的及格率为90.3%，差异显著。结构化口试（SOE）中得分在60 - 69分区间的学生人数最多，而在传统口试（TOE）中得分频率最高的区间为50 - 59分。这一观察结果表明，结构化口试（SOE）在质量和成功率方面提高了学生的表现。因此，在评估学生的能力和认知能力方面，结构化口试（SOE）是一种更有效、更具技巧性且优于传统口试（TOE）的方法。结构化口试（SOE）在评估考试口试部分方面相对于传统口试（TOE）的必要性和技巧性已得到证实。
