Comparative Performance on National Board Basic Science and Clinical Science Tests.

Gross, Leon J.

Journal of Optometric Education, v16 n2 p57-59 Win 1991

A study investigated the relationship between performance on basic science (BS) and clinical science (CS) national board examinations in optometry because many students do well on CS while failing on BS. Results indicated a high correlation between scores on the tests, underscoring the importance of the BS examination and the test's predictive ability. (Author/MSE)
