ANOVA with the OSCE result overall and at the specific stations/medical skills as the dependent variable. The binary factors free practice (FP), the free practice of the specific station/skill (yes/no) and the number of visits to the Skills lab (coded as a continuous variable) are the predictors. P-values are in parentheses.
