Abstract
This is a co-relationl type of study that aims to determine the relationship of academic predictors to Board Examination performance among the Physical Therapy graduates fo De La Salle Health Sciences Institute Batch 2008-2010. The researchers reviewd the documents containing the results of the genral weighted scores (GWA), revalida examination results, mock board examination and actual board examination scores. The researchers also did an interview to substantiate the results of the study. The data gathered were tabulated and analyzed with the use of statistical tools like the Pearson r and the mean through the statistical software. Results of the study showed that the overall computed mean the General Weighted Average is 81.89, overall computed mean scores for revalida examination is 45.22, the overall comnputed mean score of the mock examination is 70.01 and the overall computed mean score of the Board Examination is 78.37 among graduates of Batch 2008-2010. Furthermore, the results of the study also showed that the three academic predictors namely general waighted average, mock examination and revalida examination is moderately small positely correlated to the board examination results based on the computed correlation coefficinet of +0.53. The genral waighted average was considered as the highest academic predictor in predicting the board exam performance with the highest correlation of +0.59, followed by the mock examination that showed a moderately small positive correlation with the score of +0.58 and the revalidate examination indicated the lowest relationship to the academic predictor with the computed score of +0.41. The researchers then recommend that a follow-up study looking at the other predictors such as psychosocial factors like age, gender, race, study habits learning strategies and duration of review be conducted.
