| Abstract | Objective: To assess the correlation of self-assessment of modified essay question (MEQ) and theactual scores in the sixth-year medical students.Methods: Retrospective study in sixth-year medical students who were attended in MEQexamination and graduated in academic year 2014. Results of self-assessment after finishingMEQ and their actual scores were collected to analyze those correlations. Additionally,gender and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) from first to sixth year of each studentwas also considered.Results: Mean age of 82 sixth-year medical students was 24.9+ 3.2 years. There were 51.2% ofmale and 48.8% of female. Mean CGPA from first to sixth year was 3.2 + 0.3 (range 2.4-3.8).There were 6.1% of students who did not achieve the examination, and 93.9% of studentswere accomplished. The correlation coefficient (r) between self-assessment of medicalstudents and their actual sores was 0.23 (p-value = 0.03). Students who overestimatedthemselves were male and more than female, as 16.7% compared with 5.0% (p-value = 0.24),respectively. CGPA of students who overestimated was 2.9+0.3 compared with 3.2+0.3 ofstudents who underestimated or assessing correlated with their examinations (p-value = 0.01).Conclusion: There are a few correlations between self-assessment of MEQ examination scores andtheir actual scores in the sixth-year medical students. The affected factor of thesecorrelations is CGPA, whereas male has a potential to overestimate themselves. |
