Proportion of the predictive power of the UKCAT scores for undergraduate knowledge and skills-based examination outcomes explained by PEA in medical school. The proportion is computed as a quotient of the indirect effect of the UKCAT performance through PEA divided by the total effect of UKCAT performance. The black dotted line denotes the threshold at 43% selected so as to contrast the trend between the ‘preclinical’ (first two) years and the ‘clinical’ years (three to five) of medical school undergraduate training. PEA, prior educational attainment; UKCAT, United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test.
