Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to see the relationship/effect of Entry test marks and FSc marks on the
future academic performance scores of first year medical students from year 2010 to 2014 (five years).
Study Design: This was a Cross-sectional Quantitative Correlational study.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted and carried out at Islamic International Medical College
Rawalpindi. The retrospective data of five years from 2010 -2014 was included. The study project was
completed from March 2016 to August 2016.
Materials and Methods: The data was collected from the record of the college. Dependent variable were the
student's academic performance scores i.e. scores of students in term of pass or fail and percentages obtained
in first professional MBBS from 2010 to 2014. Independent variables were id no, gender, percentage marks
obtained in FSc and entry test.
Results:Male female ratio varied from 23% male to a maximum of 33% and females from 67% to 77% during the
five year with an average of 70% females and 30% male. Correlation in between entry test marks and marks
obtained in first professional MBBS was found to be .828 which is a strong correlation. Weak correlation was
found in between the FSc marks and marks obtained during first professional MBBS.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the students who perform well in entry test also have satisfactory
performance in the first professional MBBS and their future performance can be predicted to some extent.
