Abstract

The purpose of this study is to perform statistical analyses to determine if there is any possible relationship between student success or failure in the national license examination for health professionals and their entrance examination scores of college performance levels. The analyses were done on items including the entrance selection method, results of the entrance examination, academic performance during college studies, the number of dropouts and expellees, and success / failure in the national examination which were paired for comparative results. An attempt was made to create an estimation formula based on these results. The sample included 1,132 students who have been admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Allied Medical Sciences. The indices used for analyses included methods applied for entrance selection(regu1ar entrance examination, entrance by recommendation), results of the regular entrance examination, results of the academic performance during college, and success / failure in the national examination. No difference was found in the outcome of the national examination between students who entered by regular entrance examination and those who entered by recommendation. There was, also, no difference in the resulting scores of the entrance examination between those who passed and those who failed in the national examination. As to the academic records during college, those who passed the national examination showed higher academic performance in more than half of the major subjects than those who failed in it. The score estimation on the results of the national examination was formulated using a mathematical equation for two of the four major courses of study.
