ABSTRACT

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of machine learning models in predicting the pass rates of physical therapy students in national exams. Traditional grade prediction methods primarily rely on past academic performance or demographic data. However, this study employed machine learning and deep learning techniques to analyze mock test scores with the goal of improving prediction accuracy. Data from 1,242 students across five Korean universities were collected and preprocessed, followed by analysis using various models. Models, including those generated and fine-tuned with the assistance of ChatGPT-4, were applied to the dataset. The results showed that H2OAutoML (GBM2) performed the best with an accuracy of 98.4%, while TabNet, LightGBM, and RandomForest also demonstrated high performance. This study demonstrates the exceptional effectiveness of H2OAutoML (GBM2) in predicting national exam pass rates and suggests that these AI-assisted models can significantly contribute to medical education and policy.
