BACKGROUND The national ranking examination (NRE) marks the end of the second cycle (6th university year) of French medical studies and ranks students allowing them to choose their specialty and city of residency. We studied the potential predictive factors of success at the 2015 NRE by students attending a French School of Medicine. METHODS From March 2016 to March 2017, a retrospective study of factors associated with the 2015 NRE success was conducted and enrolled 242 students who attended their sixth year at the school of medicine of Reims. Demographic and academic data collected by a home-made survey was studied using univariate and then multivariate analysis by generalized linear regression with a threshold of p <  0.05 deemed significant. RESULTS The factors independently associated with a better ranking at the NRE were the motivation for the preparation of the NRE (gain of 3327 ± 527 places, p <  0.0001); to have participated in the NRE white test organized by la Revue du Praticien in November 2014 (gain of 869 ± 426 places, p <  0.04), to have participated in the NRE white test organized by la conférence Hippocrate in March 2015 (+ 613 places ±297, p <  0.04). The factors independently associated with poor NRE ranking were repeating the first year (loss of 1410 places ±286, p <  0.0001), repeating a year during university course (loss of 1092 places ±385, p <  0.005), attendance of hospital internships in 6th year (loss of 706 places ±298, p <  0.02). CONCLUSIONS The student motivation and their white tests completion were significantly associated with success at the NRE. Conversely, repeating a university year during their course and attendance of 6th year hospital internships were associated with a lower ranking.

法国国家排名考试（NRE）成功的预测因素：法国医学院学生成绩的回顾性研究。

背景技术国家排名考试（NRE）标志着法国医学研究的第二个周期（第六个大学学年）的结束，并对学生进行排名，以允许他们选择其专业和居住城市。我们研究了法国医学院的学生在2015年NRE上取得成功的潜在预测因素。方法从2016年3月至2017年3月，对与2015年NRE成功相关的因素进行了回顾性研究，招募了242名在兰斯医学院就读第六年的学生。使用单变量研究通过家庭调查收集的人口统计资料和学术数据，然后使用广义线性回归进行多变量分析，阈值p <0.05被认为是显着的。结果与NRE更好的排名独立相关的因素是准备NRE的动机（获得3327±527位，p <0.0001）。参加了la Revue du Praticien在2014年11月组织的NRE白色测试（获得869±426个位置，p <0.04），并参加了由conférenceHippocrate在2015年3月组织的NRE白色测试（+ 613个位置） ±297，p <0.04）。与NRE排名不佳相关的独立因素有：重复第一年（损失1410个位置±286，p <0.0001），重复一年大学课程（损失1092个位置±385，p <0.005），参加医院实习的情况。第6年（706个位置的误差±298，p <0.02）。结论学生的动机和他们的白人考试完成与NRE的成功显着相关。相反，在他们的课程中重复大学学业和参加6年医院实习与较低的排名相关。
