Abstract

Background A regional stage exam, called Ujian Tahap Bersama (UTB) and Progress Test (PT) are formative assessments. UTB II is tested on 4th year medical students to measure their knowledge of pathomechanism to therapy. The PT has been implemented in Faculty of Medicine (FoM), Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) since 2012. This study aims to determine correlations of UTB and PT to GPA of undergraduate medical students in the FoM UII. Method This study was an observational analytical research with a cross-sectional approach. An analysis of 324 students was conducted. A linear regression analysis was conducted on scores of UTB II (4th year students) and PT (4th year students) correlated to GPA scores of 176 students (student batch of 2015) and 159 students (student batch of 2016). Exclusion criteria of subjects of this study were students who did not follow either one or both of these formative assessments. There were 11 students excluded from the analysis of this study. Result: The data normality test showed a P value of 0.494. Value regression data of the UBT II to the GPA indicated a significant result with a P value of 0.000. Value regression data of the 4th PT to the GPA indicated a significant result with a P value of 0.000. An R square value was 0.464. These results found that the UTB II and 4th PT scores correlated with moderate correlation strength. Conclusion: The UTB II and 4th PT correlated with achievements of cognitive competencies of the medical students. A relationship test of UTB I, II, and III is required. A progress test of PT needs to be conducted annually.
