Abstract

Pretesting students has been considered a sound educational practice but the reports of its utility in medical education are sparse. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the usefulness of the NBME Subject Examination as a pretest to identify students “at risk” in a medical school behavioral sciences course. The results indicated that the pretest was helpful in documenting course effectiveness and that it and other measures could be used to provide an early prediction of students’ behavioral sciences course grades.
