We selected scores for histology and embryology,physiology,biochemistry,pathobiology,pharmacology,paediatrics,and medicine of the first-year(2004),second-year(2003),third-year(2002)students at a medical school as subjects to analyze construction validity using factor analysis.The common factors were selected if their cumulative value above 60%.The result showed that variance percentage explained by each factor was lower,and that the three level structure formed by recall,comprehend and application would not be explained ideally by these scores.The author considered that the examination items should be improved and it was limited for factor analysis method to apply to analyze medical examination items.
