AB  - The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination-USA (COMLEX-USA) 
      assesses the competence of osteopathic physicians in training. It is designed to 
      protect the public by setting minimum competence standards. All osteopathic 
      medical students must pass COMLEX-USA Level 1, Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation, and 
      Level 2-Performance Evaluation before being allowed to graduate from an 
      osteopathic medical school. Residency training programs use COMLEX-USA scores as 
      a major factor in deciding whom they will interview and admit into their 
      programs. In addition, colleges of osteopathic medicine use student COMLEX-USA 
      scores as an external assessment of their success in educating students. Because 
      COMLEX-USA is a high-stakes examination series, it is important to understand 
      predictive factors for performance. The authors review the literature on the 
      relationship between COMLEX-USA scores and correlated student variables. Results 
      from the Council on Osteopathic Student Government Presidents' survey on 
      students' preparation methods and performance are also provided.
