| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: Written tests are an integral part of selection into general practice specialty training in the UK. Evidence supporting their validity and reliability as shortlisting tools has prompted their introduction into the selection processes of other medical specialties. This study explores whether candidate performance on two written tests predicts performance on subsequent workplace-based simulation exercises. METHODS: A prospective analysis of candidate performance (n = 135) during the general practice selection process was undertaken. Candidates were shortlisted using their scores on two written tests, a clinical problem-solving test (CPST) and a situational judgement test (SJT). Successful candidates then undertook workplace-based simulation exercises at a selection centre (SC). Scores on the CPST and SJT were correlated with SC scores. Regression analysis was undertaken to explore the predictive validity of the CPST and SJT for SC performance. RESULTS: The data show that the CPST and SJT are predictive of performance in workplace-based simulations (r = 0.598 for the CPST, r = 0.717 for the SJT). The SJT is a better predictor of SC performance than the CPST (R(2) = 0.51 versus R(2) = 0.35). However, the two tests together provide the greatest degree of predictive ability, accounting for 57% of the variance seen in mean scores across SC exercises. CONCLUSIONS: The CPST and SJT play valuable roles in shortlisting and are predictive of performance in workplace-based SC exercises. This study provides evidence for their continued use in selection for general practice training and their expansion to other medical specialties. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
