BACCARO, Thais Accioly  e  SHINYASHIKI, Gilberto Tadeu. Performance in the university entrance exam and academic achievement. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.2, pp. 165-176. ISSN 1679-3390.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between performance in the university entrance exam and sociodemographic characteristics with academic achievement of students of a public university of São Paulo State. A quantitative survey with data from 4237 graduates in 12 careers in the areas of Exact and Technological Sciences, Biological Sciences and Humanities was conducted. Through multiple regression, it is suggested that the performance in the entrance exam is positively related to academic performance, regardless the career field. In addition, sex, skin color, quantity of goods, the type of middle and high school attended by the student, the number of university entrance exams taken and the cutoff grade for the entrance into careers help to explain the academic performance of the graduates from the university analyzed.

Palavras-chave : performance; student admission criteria; academic achievement; higher education.
