To verife predictive capacity of a aptitude tests, academic index and entrance examination., in relation to academic yield in medicine career, a longitudinal follow-up research was designed on students admited in 1991-1992 course, using data obtained during selective process and their qualifications in first 4 years of career to all subjects of course of study. Given the continuos nature of dependent variable, statistical analysis was based on the main multiple regression form. We confirmed relevance of academic index as a yield predictor, and perhaps first evidences of predictive ability of entrance examination have been provided. Prognostic abilities of variables registering in entrance, be dissipated as student pass from a course to another one, and his place is occupied by own indicators of partical yield.
