“…The results indicated a positive correlation between students' performance in the lab, clinical and OSCE grade. This is consistent with the study done by Al Rushood, M., & Al-Eisa, A wherein they found correlation between training exam and final OSCE exam [17].…”

The objective of the research was to correlate between clinical performance of the nursing students and their perception towards OSCE and their OSCE exam results. A Comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 224 Female students (167 female students and 57 male students) who enrolled in the clinical courses from level 4 to 8 in the department of nursing; sample were selected through stratified random sample method. A questionnaire was used to assess the students’ perception towards OSCE; whereas to assess the correlation between nursing students’ perceptions and their OSCE exam results and to find the correlation between nursing students’ clinical performance score, lab score and their OSCE exam results, the real grades were taken from each course. Current study showed that students had a positive overall impression of the OSCE exam (M = 41.3, SD 12.7). Students' attitudes towards the OSCE exam were rated on a mean scale of 11 (SD 3.45). Researchers found positive correlation between the students' OSCE grade and their lab competency grade (r s = .445, P = <0.001) and their clinical performance grade (r s = .503, P = <0.001) grades. However, there was no relationship (r s =.085, P =.207) between the students’ OSCE grade and their perception toward the OSCE exam. The majority of respondents were identified to have positive attitudes towards OSCE as well as overall positive impression of the OSCE exam. OSCE is a reliable and valid assessment tool in the nursing profession. OSCE at the same time can inspire students' critical thinking and promote their communication skills. Through the continuous application of OSCE in nursing education from the beginning, it may have some potential impact on the clinical field.

“…As a rule, earlier levels of exams have a strong positive correlation with the upper level of exams conducted by the same organization (Kühbeck et al, 2019). As stated by Russell et al (2012), in that case, "earlier examinations could be viewed as predictors of upper-level Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe performance" (p. 138). Such research results substantiate the previous findings in the literature "and may be helpful for the predictive modeling of student performance" (Kühbeck et al, 2019, p. 6).…”

It is crucial to examine the alignment of different exam results conducted by various organizations to improve the quality of assessment. The research used a document analysis method with recent, publicly available national and international reports addressing the research question. The following main question was examined through the document analysis: What exams have the highest correlation and are more trustworthy in Azerbaijan for short and long-term outcomes? The data were analyzed to discover any statistical comparisons of university admission exams with the 9th and 11th grade SEC exams, school grades, and other assessments. Research shows that the State Examination Center’s exams align with its own evaluations and international assessment (OECD). They can be considered methodologically rigorous, providing a more valid yardstick for measuring student knowledge and achievement. Overall, exams by the SEC had a high correlation coefficient compared to Higher Education Institutions’ assessments. As more and more international students want to pursue their education in Azerbaijan, these findings can be valuable for their decision-making and tertiary level.

Objectives The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a commonly used assessment of clinical skill, and ensuring the quality and reliability in OSCEs is a complex, and on-going process. This paper discusses scoring schemas and reviews checklists and global rating scales (GRS) for marking. Also detailed are post-examination quality assurance metrics tailored to smaller cohorts, with an illustrative dataset. Methods A deidentified OSCE dataset, from stations with both a checklist and GRS, of 24 examinees from a 2021 cohort was assessed using the following metrics: Cut-scores or pass-rates, number-of-failures, R2, inter-grade discrimination, and between-group-variation. The results were used to inform a set of implementable recommendations to improve future OSCEs. Results For most stations the calculated cut-score calculated was higher than the traditional pass of 50% (58.9.8-68.4%). Number-of-failures were low for traditional pass rates and cuts-scores (0.00-16.7%), excepting Lab Analysis where number-of-failures was 50.0%. R2 values ranged from 0.67-0.97, but proportion of total variance was high (67.3-95.9). These data suggest there were potential missed teaching concepts, that station marking was open to examiner interpretation, and there were inconsistencies in examiner marking. Recommendations included increasing checklist detail and using a weighted marking scale, separating some stations into dichotomous and key-feature checklists, using GRSs specific to each station, and reviewing all future OSCEs with the metrics described to guide refinements. Conclusions The analysis used revealed several potential issues with the OSCE assessment. These findings informed recommendations to improve the quality of future examinations.
