摘要: Objectives. To investigate the correlation of scores on Test Logical Thinking (TOLT) with first-year pharmacy students’ performance in selected courses. Methods. The TOLT was administered to 130 students. examination during first quarter a single session. Results. correlated grades earned Pharmaceutical Calculations, Physical Pharmacy, and Basic Pharmacokinetics courses. Conclusion. Performance has been courses that required ability use quantitative reasoning complete tasks. In future, it may be possible recommend remediation, retention, and/or admission based part results from TOLT.
