SD = standard deviation. Summative exam performance represents the average percent correct in the class for the questions analyzed. Mann U Whitney tests were used to compare responses between groups. P values are shown for each category. Bold categories were statistically significantly different between the groups.

^(*)= p is less than 0.05,

^(**)= p is less than 0.01, and

^(***)= p is less than 0.001.
