Do Admission Procedure Scores Correlate with University Study Results?
Original language description
The main objective of this paper is to find out if the number of points awarded during the admission procedure correlate with students' performance during their university study in the bachelor programme of Economics and Management at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem (UJEP), Czech Republic. The first source of data was the recorded scores from the admission process of students who decided to send a portfolio. The second source of data was a study by the UJEP information system. Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there is a strong positive correlation between five courses and final exams, as well as the performance in the last two evaluated semesters of high school. The paper confirmed that students with a higher Admission Procedure Score performed better in their university studies. It is preferable to continue accepting these students, to enact the admission procedure, and increase requirements for students during the procedure. The Faculty should consider abandoning portfolios and start using comprehension tests and provide additional support for current students with study problems.
