Variable(s) enered on sep 1: @1sSem.FallGPA, CalculaionsTo.Ps, PODAITo.Ps, Reading, Composie, Verbal, Biology, QA, Chemisry, OVGPA, SGPA. A binary regression was performed (above able) o furher idenify which variable significanly increases chances of passing NAPLEX. The es suggess ha a passing grade in PODA I increases he esimaed logi of passing he NAPLEX examinaion by.745 unis. The relaionship may also be expressed in erms of an odds raio [i.e. he exponenial of.745 is 2.106]. Thus, sudens who perform well in PODA I are 2.1 imes more likely o pass he NAPLEX examinaion on he firs aemp.
