Using ACT scores and grade-point averages to predict studentsʼ MCAT scores

Do MCAT scores predict USMLE scores? An analysis on 5 years of medical student data

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the associations and predictive values of Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) component and composite scores prior to 2015 with U.S. Medical Licensure Exam (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores, with a focus on whether students scoring low on the MCAT were particularly likely to continue to score low on the USMLE exams...

ACT Research Explains New ACT® Test Writing Scores and Their Relationship to Other Test Scores

Instrumental Music and ACT Scores

Introduction Allocation of dwindling resources force public administrators to make choices and instrumental music program budgets can be cut or even eliminated by state agencies or school districts. Whether or not this is good policy will be examined by the collection and analysis of school level data. Public school instrumental music programs are expensive to operate and maintain, involve spec...

Validation of the 9-Point and 24-Point Hematoma Expansion Prediction Scores and Derivation of the PREDICT A/B Scores.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nine- and 24-point prediction scores have recently been published to predict hematoma expansion (HE) in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. We sought to validate these scores and perform an independent analysis of HE predictors. METHODS We retrospectively studied 301 primary or anticoagulation-associated intracerebral hemorrhage patients presenting <6 hours post ictus prosp...

Using ITS Generated Data to Predict Standardized Test Scores

This study suggests that the data generated by intelligent tutoring systems can be used to accurately predict end-of-year standardized state test scores. A traditional model including only past performance on the test yielded an R of 0.38 and an enhanced traditional model that added current class average improved predictions (R=0.50). These models served as baseline measures for comparing an IT...
