    <abstract language="eng">The quality of education provided during the study, is one of the services quality determinants of graduates. The defects may be resolved through assessment of such educations. It is of great importance to evaluate the scores achieved by students in pre-internship comprehensive exams that all universities participate in them. This descriptive-analytical study, examined 375 medical.. The related factors and the data were analyzed by SPSS, Pearson’s correlation and regression tests. Of 375 subjects entered the university over 11 years, 56.3% (n=211) were female, 71.6% (269) were living in dormitories and 91.7% (343) were admitted following the first innings of test. The mean score of pre-internship exams was 113.5±20. Its score correlated with gender, place of residence, being with family, history of failure in exam, basic sciences exam’s score, GPA of medical externship and Physiopathology courses. Using linear regression and evaluating various variables, the most prediction validity was obtained with medical externship course GPA (R2=0.543) and the Physiopathology course GPA (R2=0.433), respectively. Furthermore, the regression line equation with the Backward procedure was as follows: Y= 8.5 (medical externship GPA) + 0.297 (score of basic sciences course)-53.53. Based on the results, the pre-internship exam scores can be predictable with a high validity.</abstract>
