Abstract

This quantitative research examined factors influencing MSU's performance in licensure exams for fisheries, agriculture, education, and accountancy. Factors like sex, income, exam timing, Latin honors, and review methods did not significantly affect scores (P-values > 0.05). However, patterns in honors and study habits warrant further exploration. The results challenge the belief that common benefits automatically lead to improved results, emphasizing the complexity of success in licensure tests and the importance of maintaining consistent academic dedication, with GPA being a strong predictor of exam success. Recommendations focus on improving classroom instruction and review sessions to enhance pass rates, especially for demanding exams like the CPALE.
