Exploring the validity of the 2013 UKCAT SJT - prediction of undergraduate performance in the first year of medical school : Summary

چکیده
Background: Previously it has been shown that the scores from some forms of the UKCAT 2013 SJT predict tutor ratings in medical students. In addition, the cognitive scale scores of the UKCAT tend to predict undergraduate performance on both theory and skills-based assessments in medical school. In these analyses we model the relationship between such undergraduate academic performance measures and the 2013 SJT scores.
