Correlations at the medical school level between performance at Part 1, Part 2 and PACES and the variables derived by the Guardian from HESA and other statistics (see the text). Values in bold are significant with p < 0.05. N = 19 for most variables, except for those based on the National Student Survey, which has N = 14 owing to either to low numbers of respondents or differences between UK regions. | ||||
