Once in the Door, Grit May Matter More: An Evaluation of Grit in Medical Students.

CONCLUSION: Exploratory factor analysis results provide preliminary validity evidence for Grit scale use in medical students. Grit does not significantly moderate the Medical College Admission Test-Step score relationship. Grit correlates negatively with Medical College Admission Test scores. Though the correlations in this study were not significant, the results showed that Grit may tend to positively correlate with Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge examinations. Given that these three exams are taken at different levels of training, the stepwise progression towards positive correlation may suggest that the theory "effort counts twice" applies to medical training.
