ABSTRACT
In order to identify students who needs more intensive guide, we analysed the association between the results of Korean medical licensing examination(KMLE) and two different types of scholastic achievement; 4th grade score and graduation examination score. The scholastic achievement between passed and failed the KMLE at Konkuk University College of Medicine from 1995 to 1998 was investigated. First, we grouped the students into four groups according to the year they graduated. Second, we regrouped the group into two subgroups according to whether passed or failed in the KMLE. In the 4th grade score, the passed KMLE is higher than the failed from 0.49 to 0.71 and which is statistically significant. In the graduation examination score, the passed KMLE is higher than the failed from 4.9 to 9.9 and which is also statistically significant. We analyzed the degree of agreements between the results of the KMLE and the two different types of scholastic achievement. In 4th grade score, the highest degree of agreement shows 2.2 and its kappa index is 0.49. In graduation examination score, the highest degree of agreement shows 71 and its kappa index is 0.64. In conclusion, students who have lower than 2.2 in 4th grade score or lower than 71 in graduation examination score are tend to be failed the KMLE. So they need more intensive guide for the KMLE.
