Neither UCAS form nor interview scores were statistically significant predictors of examination performance.
The scientific knowledge section of the BMAT [ 11, 12] and the biological sciences subtest in the MCAT [ 13] were the best predictors of examination marks in the preclinical years.
It is also worthwhile to note that self-assessments are "acknowledged as an important component of adult and lifelong learning, and have been used in previous studies of educational quality, and shown to be valid predictors of examination scores, and faculty evaluations" [ 26].
After confirming the utility of the ACR in-training examination as a future predictor of board examination performance, our objective was to then provide program directors with useful tools to give residents feedback on their current knowledge and study habits.
ACR exam scores are a strong predictor of RCPSC examination performance.
However, since active external rotation appears to be a predictor of reparability, further examination of its significance is warranted.
The full model and null model performed poorly in explaining the variance in the data, and therefore, model selection was conducted using backwards stepwise elimination of predictor variables through examination of R values, AIC scores, QQ and residual plots to identify the best model for the data.
NART estimated IQ (NARTIQ), together with age, is a major predictor of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores in health [ 16], but also in dementia across a wide range of severity [ 17].
Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the reports that participants had suffered from schistosomiasis before and that the participant's urine was red on the day of examination were significant predictors of the disease (p = 0.001 and p = 0.045 respectively).
Report that participant had blood in urine on the day of examination was a significant predictor of schistosomiasis (p = 0.045).
