This study examined the relationship between entry qualification and academic performance of undergraduate science students at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. The researchers found a statistically significant positive correlation between entry qualification and performance in chemistry and biology, but little to no correlation with performance in physics. Entry qualification alone explained 22.5-43.7% of the variation in performance in chemistry and biology, but only 0.3% for physics. The researchers concluded that while entry qualification may influence performance to some extent, it is not a strong predictor and other factors should be considered as well when evaluating applicants.
