Nelson-Denny Reading Test Scores as a Predictor of Student Success in Osteopathic Medical Education.

Conclusion: The reasoning skills section of the new MCAT could serve as a good proxy for a reading test. There were no correlations between the Nelson-Denny Reading Test and performance in the first 2 years of medical school or COMLEX-USA Level 1 performance. Further research can strengthen the findings and determine whether correlations exist with clinical performance. PMID: 30801115 [PubMed - in process]
