To demonstrate the quality assurance of the comprehensive examination of sixth-year students at Nippon Medical School, 4 undergraduate examinations were compared with the national examination for medical practitioners (NEMP) using scatter graphs and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Of the 93 sixth-year students at Nippon Medical School, 57%(n=53) reported their scores on the NEMP in response to a request from the Academic Quality and Development Office. Correlation coefficients of the grade point average (years 1 to 5), average scores on graduation examinations of 24 subjects, scores on the trial examination of NEMP, and scores on the sixth-year comprehensive examination with overall scores on the NEMP were 0.62, 0.46, 0.68, and 0.63, respectively. These results suggest that the sixth-year comprehensive examination is more suitable than are graduation examinations for predicting the NEMP score.
