Figure 3. Continuity of studies of best and mediocre school leavers. A. Proportional distribution of the students who completed the pre-clinical program in the prescribed time (Regular) or later (Prolonged) or who withdrew from the program (Dropout) in the two study groups. (SLG) School-leaving grade. The distributions of both study groups were compared by χ2 test. B. Proportional distribution of the students who had taken the TMS (TMS-yes) or had not taken it (TMS-no) among the students who completed the pre-clinical program in the regular time, prolonged their studies or who dropped out. (p) The proportions of the students who had not taken the TMS among those who had prolonged their studies or dropped out were compared by z-test for proportions to the equivalent proportion among the students who had completed their pre-clinical studies in the regular time.
