| Abstract | The governing board like Professional Regulatory Commission conducts licensure examinations which serve as indicators of producing quality graduates. The results of licensure examination in all programs with board examination has been considered as evidence of the quality of instruction higher education institutions provide in their clienteles. However, from 2015 the national passing rate of the Licensure Examination for Fisheries Technologist is poor. This research was conducted to assess if admission test scores and high school grades were significant predictors of the Licensure Examination for Fisheries Technologists (LEFT). Employing a quantitative non-experimental design with the use of secondary data, the results of the study were investigated using frequency, spearman rho, and binary logistic regression. The study revealed that 33.87% of the LEFT takers had average admission test scores and 38.71% of the takers had good academic performance, and 35.50% of the takers successfully passed the LEFT. Further, the result of the study confirmed that there was a weak positive correlation between admission test scores and LEFT results (r=0.357, p= 0.004), and academic performance and LEFT results (r=0.292, p=0.021). It was concluded that admission test scores were the only variable with a significant likelihood of influencing LEFT outcomes. Statistically, it implied that, for every one-point increase in the admission test score, the likelihood of a corresponding increase in the LEFT average score by approximately 2. The study suggests that HEIs offering BSFT programs may consider admitting new students with at least average admission test scores. This study's findings can be a basis for future research utilizing other research designs. Additionally, researchers could investigate the mediating effect of review programs on licensure examination performance. |
