Abstract

BACKGROUND

Although admission criteria are standardized by Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC), medical colleges can conduct aptitude tests as admission criteria. The present study aimed to determine the correlation of Rehman Medical College's (RMC) admission criteria with students' academic performance in the Khyber Medical University (KMU) First Professional Part-1 examinations.

METHODS

A descriptive study was done at RMC from December 2012 to March 2013 based on computerized records of first and second year MBBS students (years 2010 and 2011; 100 students per year). Students who dropped out or were stricken off from RMC before the university exam were excluded. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated by using SPSS-15.

RESULTS

For 2010, highest correlation was observed between combined marks of all admission criteria components and KMU professional examination (r=0.466, p<0.001) followed by RMC aptitude test (r=0.424, p<0.001). For females, combined marks of admission criteria showed highest correlation (r=0.629, p<0.001) while RMC aptitude test showed highest correlation for male students (r=0.361, p=0.004). For 2011, combined marks of admission criteria (r=0.359, 7=0.001) showed the highest correlation with KMU professional examination marks followed by Educational Testing & Evaluation Agency (ETEA) marks (r=0.327, p=0.002). ETEA marks showed highest correlation for females (r=0.491, p=0.001) followed by combined marks of admission criteria (r=0.432, p=0.005); for males, combined marks of admission criteria (r=0.385, p=0.006) showed highest correlation followed by ETEA marks (r=0.383, p=0.007).

CONCLUSION

Combined marks of admission criteria correlate with students' academic Derformances in university professional examination result.

摘要

背景

尽管巴基斯坦医学与牙医学委员会（PM&DC）对录取标准进行了规范，但医学院校仍可进行能力倾向测试作为录取标准。本研究旨在确定雷曼医学院（RMC）的录取标准与学生在开伯尔医科大学（KMU）第一专业第一部分考试中的学业成绩之间的相关性。

方法

2012年12月至2013年3月在RMC进行了一项描述性研究，基于医学学士一、二年级学生（2010年和2011年；每年100名学生）的计算机记录。排除在大学考试前从RMC退学或被除名的学生。使用SPSS - 15计算皮尔逊相关系数。

结果

2010年，所有录取标准组成部分的综合分数与KMU专业考试之间的相关性最高（r = 0.466，p < 0.001），其次是RMC能力倾向测试（r = 0.424，p < 0.001）。对于女性，录取标准的综合分数相关性最高（r = 0.629，p < 0.001），而RMC能力倾向测试对男性学生的相关性最高（r = 0.361，p = 0.004）。2011年，录取标准的综合分数（r = 0.359，p = 0.001）与KMU专业考试成绩的相关性最高，其次是教育测试与评估机构（ETEA）的分数（r = 0.327，p = 0.002）。ETEA分数对女性的相关性最高（r = 0.491，p = 0.001），其次是录取标准的综合分数（r = 0.432，p = 0.005）；对于男性，录取标准的综合分数（r = 0.385，p = 0.006）相关性最高，其次是ETEA分数（r = 0.383，p = 0.007）。
