Correlation Study on the Board Exam Performance of BS in Geodetic Engineering Graduates in NVSU

Abstract

This study aimed to correlate the academic achievements and the board exam performance rating of geodetic engineering graduates of Nueva Vizcaya State University from year 2018-2022. The study limits on to those graduates from year 2018-2022 who took the board exam, based on Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) data. The two-day board exam covers 5 Subjects, 3 Subjects during the first day and 2 Subjects on the second day. Simple Correlation and Linear Regression analysis were used to determine the relationship of the independent and dependent variables. Findings revealed a significant positive linear correlation between their academic achievements and their board exam performance rating. On the other hand, Subjects taken on the first day of the exam have greater coverage compared to those on the second day. This extensive coverage may contribute to examinee fatigue, potentially affecting performance on subsequent subjects. Moreover, results suggest that academic performance plays a significant role in predicting board exam success for geodetic engineering examinees in NVSU. Therefore, this study provides insight for both educators and future examinees to recognize the value of academic preparation and to strive for academic excellence in their pursuit of success in the board exam
