This study aimed to determine if correlations existed between overall science prerequisite grade point average (GPA) and successful completion of pathophysiology and overall science GPA and the Test of Essential Academic Skills Version V (TEAS V) science subscore. The quantitative study design was used with 73 students who were conditionally admitted to the baccalaureate nursing program. No statistically significant correlation was found between overall science GPA and successful completion of pathophysiology; a weak low correlation was found between overall science GPA and TEAS V science subscore. These findings suggest that TEAS V science subscores used as a standalone assessment do not predict success in pathophysiology.
本研究旨在确定总体科学先修课程平均绩点（GPA）与生理学课程的成功完成情况之间，以及总体科学 GPA 与关键学术技能测试第五版（TEAS V）科学子项分数之间是否存在相关性。该定量研究设计使用了 73 名有条件被护理学士学位课程录取的学生。总体科学 GPA 与生理学课程的成功完成之间没有发现统计学上显著的相关性；总体科学 GPA 与 TEAS V 科学子项分数之间存在微弱的低度相关性。这些发现表明，TEAS V 科学子项分数作为单独的评估手段并不能预测生理学课程的成功。
