Disorganised students fail exams
Disorganised medical students are more likely to fail
examinations. Wright and Tanner (p 1554) show that almost half the
students who failed to complete the basic administrative task of
providing a recent passport photograph at the start of their paediatric module failed the end of year examinations. This, they say,
highlights the importance of organisation and attitude in determining
an individual's success.
