Simple Adding versus Differential Weighting of MCAT Subtest Scores.

Donnelly, Michael B.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v58 n7 p581-83 Jul 1983

A statistical comparison of Medical College Admission Test scores with National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Part I scores of one school's students supported simple averaging of subtest scores rather than weighting as a predictor of NBME Part I performance. Similar results were obtained using basic science course examination scores. (MSE)
