AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate students' performance and its predictors in the preclinical examinations at the College of Health Sciences, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Ogbomoso Nigeria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross section of students' records admitted into medical programme in 1999/2000 sessions was studied.
RESULTS: Younger students performed consistently better than the older ones in all the three subjects taken at the MBBS1. It was also noticed that the male students performed better, a statistically significant mean difference in score was observed in Biochemistry P>0.05. Students with better Ordinary level aggregate grade of (5-15) in the five core subjects at SSCE, consistently had better results in all the subjects taken at MBBS1 examination compared to their counter-part with aggregate SSCE grade of (16-30). Students that were admitted through JAMB performed better in all the three subjects than those that were admitted through pre-degree programme and the transferred students. However, the mean difference was statistically significant P<0.05 in Biochemistry only.
CONCLUSION: Better performance at MBBS1 was found in younger age group, those with aggregate grade of (5-15) in SSCE and those admitted through JAMB. Ordinary level requirement irrespective of the mode of admission should not be compromised. Schools that admit students through pre-degree, transfer or direct entry will have to be more conscious of the quality of students they admit and also operate such system with utmost transparency and with a principle of promoting good academic standard.
