Item The "A" Level Aggregate and Medical School Examination Performance.(Ghana Medical Journal, 1989-06) Woolhouse, N.M.; Archampong, E.Q.The value of A level results as predicted indices of likely performance in the various professional examinations taken by Undergraduate medical students has been investigated. Performance in the MB II, MB III and Part II examinations was found to correlate closely with the Aggregate attained. Students with the best A level aggregates achieved significantly better results in these examinations than those with weaker aggregates. (p < 001, p < 0.001 and p < 0.01) respectively. In contrast. no significant correlation was found with the Part I examination resultsItem "A" Level Subject Performance and Sex in relation to Medical School Examination performance(Ghana Medical Journal, 1989-06) Woolhouse, N.M.; Archampong, E.Q.The Relative performance of students admitted to the medical school with an A level pass in either biology or mathematics and of male and female students has been studied. The influence of the A level grade in chemistry on the subsequent performance in bio chemistry has also been investigated A significant difference (p<0.001) was found in the distribution of examination results covering all subjects examined among mathematicians and biologists. In general; mathematicians performed significantly better overall than did biologists. In particular mathematicians performed significantly better (p<0.01) in anatomy. Whilst there is no significant difference between the performance of male and female students taken overall, females appear to perform significantly better (p<0.001) than males in the clinical subject areas, The quality of the A level grade in chemistry has a major influence on performance in biochemistry at the MB II examination
