Ridryder 911 Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 http://www.jems.com/Columnists/Werfel/articles/278341/ I thought this was an interesting finding Paul Werfel discussed in his article in JEMS. Apparently, the verbal point may be a precursor or indicator on how well a student might score. Interesting finding as well that mathematics score was not as necessary in this testing, that might be needed in other health care professions and other interesting findings. I have asked in the past of those institutions that require pre or entrance examination(s) now I am enquiring if you have seen a correlation between the two as well or even have performed a comparison? As instructors and professors, is this something we should explore as a valid screening tool or at least placement tool? Maybe a hint on points of emphasis or lateral courses to increase the grade or pass of certification examinations. Discussion? R/r 911
