Predictors of Licensure Exam Failure Among Radiologic Technology Programs in the Philippines.

This report examines institutional predictors of licensure exam failure among radiologic technology programs in the Philippines from 2012 to 2024, using longitudinal secondary data from five high-volume institutions. The study found that an increased total number of licensure exams taken was consistently associated with a higher number of failed exams across all institutions, suggesting that larger exam volumes may strain resources and impact student outcomes. Additionally, the number of failed retakes and failed first attempts significantly predicted total failures at some institutions, highlighting the need for targeted remediation and review programs. The year of examination was not a significant predictor, indicating that failure rates are more influenced by institutional factors and student preparedness than by temporal trends. The report recommends data-driven institutional planning, improved student screening, and resource alignment with enrollment to reduce failure rates and enhance educational quality in radiologic technology programs.
