Sažetak
The anatomy exam at the University of Split School of Medicine includes a written, practical, and oral components, as well as daily written knowledge checks, known as quizzes. The final grade is the sum of various weighted exam components, and students are allowed five attempts to take the exam during an academic year. The analysis of exam results over a ten-year period, from the academic year 2013/2014 to the academic year 2022/2023, has revealed a downward trend in the overall passing rate of the anatomy exam, as well as a downward trend in average scores for each component of the exam, except for the practical exam. Trends in average values of achieved positive scores for all exam components are presented separately for the first exam term and for the total scores of all exam terms in a given academic year. The most pronounced constant negative trend has been observed for quizzes, while the written and oral components of the exam show a somewhat sharper decline in the first exam period, compared to overall success. By increasing the weighting ratio of quizzes in the final grade, an attempt will be made to change the student perception of their importance and benefits, as a form of continuous assessment.
