| Popis: | Seventeen students' professional year performance variables were employed to predict their scores on the MT-ASCP certification examination. The purpose of the study was designed to address three principal questions: 1. What is relationship, if any, between students' theory section and combined grades in key subjects (blood bank, hematology, microbiology, and clinical chemistry) and analogous sub-scores on the MT-ASCP examination? 2. What is the relationship, if any, between the seventeen predictor variables and MT-ASCP total scores? and 3. Which of the seventeen predictor variables, individually or in combination, best predict MT-ASCP total scores at the different academic decision points? The sample consisted of 1985-1987 (N=103) and 1988-1991 (N=147) graduates from the six hospital-based medical technology programs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Data required for analysis were taken from the graduates' academic records at the six institutions. Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and stepwise regression analyses were used to test eight hypotheses, with results generally as follows: With the exception of numerical grades in hematology in 1985-1987, there were statistically significant relationships (p Ph.
