Idea density (ID) influences comprehension time when reading text. However, the effect of lowering ID on student performance in written exams remains unexplored. This two-arm, single-blind RCT aimed to investigate the effect of ID in pharmaceutical calculation exams. Methods. Students were recruited from 11 UK schools of pharmacy and randomly assigned to two groups: A control and B intervention. Both groups received a baseline test and either a control or investigative test with lowered ID. Primary outcomes were group performance and pass rate in each test overall and on a question-by-question basis. Results. 205 students completed the study. The pass rate increased when students completed questions with lower ID. No significant change in cohort group performance was seen when the overall score was compared (p=0.110). However, a statistically significant increase in performance was observed when group performance was analysed on a question-by-question basis (p=0.033, 95% CI [0.51, 9.76]). Furthermore, students in lower years had significantly improved pass rates when receiving lower ID questions (OR=3.76, p=0.028) with the attainment gap to higher year students also reduced to insignificant levels (p=0.421). Discussion. This suggests ID could be used as an objective measure to improve the comprehensibility of written exams when applied within sensible limits.

Question linguistics are important to ensure the process of comprehension and answering can be completed [1]. Within UK universities there is little and variable guidance on the linguistics of exams, anecdotally being limited to an informal sense check of the writing. Specific guidance on writing questions is limited to an arbitrary time to answer, which is variably 60-90 seconds per mark [2 3]. Individual comprehension of a question involves factors intrinsic to the questions and each student [4]. Generally complex English is linked to a poorer understanding in second language speakers; however, this is not seen with subject specific terminology [5], as all learners are taught the new jargon [6-8]. Linguistics and subject complexity are intrinsically linked in the difficulty of a question, however the impact of linguistics is not fully considered when writing questions [1 9]. Measuring linguistic complexity can be subjective, however, one objective metric is Idea Density (ID), which is measurable by automated part of speech tagging on freely available software [10 11]. ID measures the speed at which new concepts are introduced, defined as the number of ideas in a text divided by the total words. First described by Kitsch and Keenan, they found ID to be the best predictor of the time taken to comprehend text [12]. More recently, the ID of lectures was shown to impact comprehension, with reduced ID improving recall [13]. Reducing ID may increase in redundancy, i.e. words in a sentence that do not convey any meaning. The impact of redundancy is contested [14-16]. However, reducing idea density enough to provide sufficient context would keep redundancy to a minimum [17]. In the UK, pharmacy students must successfully complete a four-year degree and a foundation training programme before sitting the national common registration assessment (CRA) prior to qualifying [18 19]. This exam is administered by the professional regulator the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and the Pharmaceutical Society Northern Ireland (PSNI). Part one of this exam consists of 40 pharmaceutical calculations, written as clinical scenarios, which candidates have 120-minutes to answer. The pass score is standard set and unique to each paper, this averaged at 61.32% between June 2022 - June 2024 [20]. An example of the type of question asked can be seen in Figure 1 , taken from the GPhC's website. Whilst some scenarios require prior knowledge, many pharmaceutical calculations heavily rely on interpretation of information. There is a well-documented attainment gap for the CRA, with black students showing the lowest pass rates and international students linked with higher drop-out rate [21 22]. Idea density has been shown to predict the time it takes to comprehend text, so may influence exam performance. However, the effect of idea density in exams has not yet been investigated. Calculations represent a good opportunity to explore the impact of ID, relying on the interpretation of information rather than prior knowledge. Aim The study aimed to determine whether modifying a question’s idea density would influence student performance. The primary research question of this study is: What is the effect of lowering the idea density of a calculation exam on attainment amongst UK pharmacy students? The secondary research questions are: Does lowering the idea density of a calculation exam influence the pass rate amongst UK pharmacy students? What is the effect of each characteristic on students' attainment in pharmacy calculations when lowering idea density?

The study was a multi-centre single blinded randomised controlled trial, with two trial arms, conducted across 11 UK schools of pharmacy on Master of Pharmacy students ( Figure 2 ), with an approximate population of 5,500 students. Intervention The intervention was a lowered ID in a 12-question pharmaceutical calculations exam. Questions had a 10-15% lower ID than those in the control test, which was otherwise identical. All participants sat a baseline 12-question pharmaceutical calculations exam. Outcome measures Primary outcome The primary outcome was student performance in the second calculation test. Secondary outcomes The percentage of students achieving a pass during the second test. The effect of each demographic characteristic (as listed in aims) on students’ attainment. Recruitment, eligibility criteria, randomisation and blinding Participants were recruited from 11 UK pharmacy schools. Participants were: Over 18 years old Registered as a student in a master of pharmacy course Participants were excluded if they were: Under 18 Not registered on a pharmacy course in the UK In the foundation year of a course Participants were blinded and allocation was performed using sequentially generated random numbers. The students were the unit of randomisation and intervention. The randomisation was 1:1, block size multiplier was 2, 4 and, 6 and the block size 4, 8, and 12. Sample size, training and study-timeline. Sample and power calculations were conducted using a standard deviation of 2.25, a normal distribution with an expected mean of 8 in the intervention group and 7 in the control group resulting in a sample size of 94 participants per group (total =188) to give a power of 80% , detecting a difference of 1 point (delta) (alpha = 0.05, two-tail test, allowing for a 20% drop-out rate). All participants completed a consent form and demographic survey via JISC ( Appendix A1 ), T 0 in Table 1 . The study consisted of two 12-question GPhC style pharmaceutical calculation exams. Test 1, was a baseline test closely matching the style and ID of sample CRA questions [24 25]. Following completion of Test 1 participants were randomly assigned to control or intervention groups (Groups A and B), receiving the control (Test 2) or intervention (Test 2a) test. Test 2 Control also matched the CRA, Test 2a Intervention was produced by reducing the ID of “Test 2” by 10-15%. Table 1 . Study timeline in accordance with SPIRIT 2013 [23 26].

Each question represented one of the 12 topics in the GPhC calculation syllabus. Tests were distributed and completed remotely using the online exam software Testportal. Participants had one attempt at each test and a maximum of 36 minutes (equivalent to 3 minutes per question, matching the CRA) [27]. Participants were advised to take the test when they had time, were in a suitable environment and had a calculator, pen and paper. Once the data had been collected, all personal identifiable information was permanently deleted. Statistical analysis Continuous data The two trial arms were analysed for differences in the baseline Test 1 to ensure that the two groups were comparable and in Test 2/2a to assess the intervention. The primary measure used was the scores obtained by the students. Data was first tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilks or Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. A student t-test was used to compare the trial arms when they were normally distributed, and the Mann-Witney test for non-normally distributed data. Cohort performance on a question-by-question basis was analysed using a paired t-test. The effect of individual demographics on test scores within each group in both tests was analysed using Kruskal-Wallis tests after categorising participants by the following demographics. First language English speaker or not Sex Age Ethnicity Year of study Specific learning disability Dichotomous data The effect of each of the same characteristics on students' pass rates when lowering idea density was assessed using binary logistic regression (BLR) and Pearsons’ Chi-Square or Fisher exact test. All data was curated using Microsoft Excel 365 and analysed on IBM SPSS version 28.0.1.1 (15); statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Ethics The study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, (revised 2008). Ethics approval was obtained from Liverpool John Moores University (REF 22/PBS/004 obtained 12/08/2022). All participants gave informed consent. All data was treated following the Data Protection Act (2018) requirements and/or GDPR 2016. Results The total student population was approximately 5,500. After recruitment, 591 (10.7%) students signed up, with 205 completing all study elements, giving a 34.7% completion rate and an overall engagement of 3.7%, summarised in the CONSORT flow diagram Figure 3 . Demographics Participants were 82% female, predominantly White or Asian (both 33%), 68% first language English speakers and 84% under the age of 25-years-old. More students from the upper two years of the course signed up (65%), compared to the lower years. Every demographic was fairly split across both Groups A and B, Table 2 . Table 2.

Normality testing Performance in both tests by both groups when viewed as cohorts was shown to be non-normally distributed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. (Test 1 Group A P=<0.001, Group B p=<0.001; Test 2 Group A p=0.010, Test 2a Group B p=0.006). The data was also assessed for normality on a question-by-question format using the Shapiro-Wilk’s test (as these samples were smaller). Both Groups A and B displayed normal distributions (Group A p=0.316, Group B p=0.302) Primary Outcome Group performance analysis- continuous data. The performance of Groups A and B was shown to be comparable in Test 1, where they received the same test achieving the same median score of 7 (Group A and B IQR = 4) with no statistically significant difference between them (p=0.437) showing comparability between groups. Test 2/2a showed similar results, with both groups achieving the same median score of 6 (Group A IQR = 5, Group B IQR = 4) and no statistical significance (p=0.110). This suggested no difference in performance between the groups from the intervention of lowered ID. ( Table 4 ). Table 4 .

Table 5 . Test 1 was again shown to have no significant difference in performance between the groups. Better performance on questions was evenly split between Groups A and B with each group performed better on 6/12 (50%) of the questions. Overall group B performed on average 2.30% better, which was statistically insignificant (p=0.159, 95% CI= -[1.05 , +5.65]). Test 2/2a showed that intervention group (B), after receiving lower ID questions, performed better on 9/12 of the questions (75%) with an average increase in performance of 5.13%, which was significant (p=0.033, 95% CI= [+0.51, +9.76]).

Exams often have a binary pass/fail element. As such, this test had a pass mark of 7/12 which was determined using an Angoff methodology. Figure 5 summarises each group's overall pass/fail outcomes, showing that Groups A and B had statistically similar pass rates in the baseline Test 1 (p=0.297). Test 2a also failed to reach a statistically significant increase in pass rate over Test 2 (p=0.051). However, more students in Group B (Test 2a) passed, with a pass rate of 46% (46/99) compared to 35% (37/105) in Group A (Test 2).

Where possible demographics were split dichotomously, except for ethnicity, which had five categories. Dichotomously split demographics were analysed using Mann-Whitney tests. Test 2/2a was harder as every demographic in both groups performed worse with some notable exceptions (students years 1, 2 and sandwich, and who were 25-years or over N.B. The sandwich year is an intercalated split foundation training placement only offered at Bradford University). Students in the lower years of the course (Years 1, 2 and sandwich) were shown to perform significantly worse than upper years (Years 3 and 4) in Test 1 in both Groups A and B. This was repeated in Test 2 (Group A) but reduced to insignificant levels in Test 2a with lowered ID (Group B). Ethnicity was investigated using Kruskal-Wallis tests with post-hoc pairwise comparisons of medians and a Bonferroni correction ( Appendix A3 ). The results from these tests are unclear as ethnicity overall had a significant effect on score for Group A in Test 1 and 2 (Test 1 p= 0.02, Test 2 p=0.005) but no overall significant effect in Group B regardless of the Test (Test 1 p=0.603, Test 2 p=0.503). Demographics were further analysed for their influence on predicting the Odds Ratio of passing using Binary Logistic Regression (BLR), Table 7 . Age, first language, learning disability and sex were all shown not to significantly influence the pass rate. Overall, ethnicity was not shown to have a significant influence. Students who identified as “other”, “prefer not to say” and who did not disclose were not analysed using BLR. Table 6 .

The performance of each half of the split demographic was directly compared between Groups A and B in Test 1 and Test 2/2a ( Table 9 ). Similar, to the BLR and within group Chi 2 analysis, the only demographic that showed a significant difference in pass rate was the Year of study. Students in years 3 and 4 showed no significant difference in pass rate in Test 1 or Test2/2a. Lower years students showed no significant difference in Test 1, however when receiving Test2/2a students receiving Test 2a (lowered ID) were significantly more likely to pass (OR=3.77, 95% CI = 1.11-12.81, p=0.028).

No overall cohort difference was observed in Test 2/2a, where Group B received questions with a lowered ID. Taken at face value, this suggests that reducing ID is not associated with any difference in performance. However, any improvement is likely to be modest [13]. The impact is also likely to be question specific, one anomalous question may greatly influence overall performance, furthermore complex scenarios more greatly benefit from linguistic change, as also suggested by De Francesco [28]. With this rationale, performance was analysed on a question-by-question basis to isolate any anomalous questions and reduce their impact. In Test 1, Group A and B performed similarly, with each performing better on 6/12 (50%) questions. However, when receiving Test 2a, Group B performed significantly better, performing better on 9/12 (75%) of questions and displaying a higher average percent overall (+5.13%, (p=0.033, 95% CI= +0.51 to +9.76)). This result shows that reducing question ID could improve overall comprehension and performance. It also suggests this effect may be question specific, as the influence of any large difference in one question is reduced in this analysis. Many courses, including pharmacy, have a well-documented attainment gap between several demographics [29 30]. Any improvement from lowering ID on those demographics would be of interest in helping to address these attainment gaps, such as those between students with English as a 1 st or 2 nd language and differences in ethnicity. Students’ first language was not shown as a strong predictor of passing in this study, nor did reducing the ID significantly improve the performance of second language (L2) speakers. This is contrary to previous studies that have shown L2 speakers benefit from a lowered ID [13 14]. It is possible that the effect for second language speakers is more pronounced in verbal ID, or that the ID was reduced too far for L2 speakers. This doesn’t appear to be the case here, as L2 speakers did not see a greater than average reduction in performance. Reducing ID too far may be detrimental to performance, however rather than targeting a number, it is of more use to keep in mind that sentences should be limited to one or two concepts. Unnecessary technical language not taught in the subject should also be avoided. The demographic showing the most significant and consistent improvement when receiving lowered ID was the year of study. The lower years of study were expected to perform worse as the higher years have received more tuition. When the pass rates of students in lower years in Test 1 (receiving the same questions) were compared, no significant difference was seen (OR=2.51, 95% CI=0.88-7.14, p=0.082). However, when comparing the pass rates after receiving Tests 2 and 2a, Group B performed significantly better than Group A after receiving a lowered ID, being nearly four times more likely to pass (OR=3.76, 95% CI=1.11-12.81, p=0.028). As expected, the higher year students performed significantly better in Test 1 when compared to lower year students (Group A: OR=9.15, p=<0.001, Group B: OR=2.86 , p=0.017). Surprisingly, in Test 2a the lower years reduced the difference in pass rate to insignificant levels (OR=1.42, 95% CI=0.61-3.33, p=0.421). This suggests that complex question linguistics were less important for higher years with more training. However, for the lower years the cognitive overload of the complex linguistics with less training affected their performance. Whilst the number of lower year students who took Test 2a was small (27 students) this suggests that question wording can greatly affect student performance. It further suggests that lowering question ID, particularly for questions with complex wording improves comprehensibility. White students were significantly more likely to pass in Test 2 compared to other ethnicities (OR= 4.12, p=0.022), this advantage was reduced to insignificant levels when taking Test 2a with lowered ID (OR= 2.65, p=0.093). The increase in other ethnicities passing in Test 2a was most prominent in Arabic students who showed an increase in odds of passing when they received Test 2a compared to any other test (OR=5.10, p=0.091). Importantly the reduction in ID didn’t disadvantage any students, with no student demographic performing significantly worse in Group B than Group A in the second test. Generalisability The gender split in the study population was heavily female (82%), comparable to the pharmacy population at LJMU, which is 70% female. The ethnicity split was different to that of the UK undergraduate population, which in 2022 was: White 73%, Asian 12%, Black 8% [31]. This makes the results less generalisable to a UK population, however improves the generalisability to ethnic minorities and to the UK pharmacy workforce, which in 2022 was 43% Black, Asian and minority [32]. The majority of participants were under 25-years-old (84%), matching the university population more widely, this makes the results mainly generalisable to a European university population. The questions were all problem solving and numerical in nature, limiting the generalisability to questions of a different nature. However, this ensured that the tests did not rely on prior knowledge, making the results generalisable wider than pharmacy. Strengths and limitations The study was appropriately powered, exceeding the required sample size of 188, with 205 participants completing it fully, giving confidence in the conclusions for the primary outcome. Analysis and conclusions for secondary outcomes are less confident as the sample size in some demographics was reduced to very small numbers, particularly in students with a specific learning difficulty. Only pharmacy students were included, which has biased the demographics of pharmacy students in the UK. The questions used were representative of those received nationally by pharmacy students. From expert review, the questions were all considered difficult, this was however compensated for in the pass mark for the tests. It would be preferable for the test to be taken in person to ensure identical conditions. It was not possible to do this, whilst still ensuring adequate sign up across all sites. Conclusions Reducing idea density in written exams may help students comprehend questions, particularly those less familiar with complex wording. This may aid the fair demonstration of core ability in a subject, reducing the risk of introducing linguistic difficulty as a surrogate for subject specific complexity. Idea density must only be lowered within sensible limits with minimal redundancy, providing suitable context whilst limiting sentences to one or two concepts. Technical language not taught in the subject should be avoided. The results of this study could support a larger study evaluating the effectiveness of idea density as an objective and generalisable measure of linguistic complexity in exams. Practice points Exam questions should be written in the clearest way possible Idea Density should be reduced, enough to provide suitable context Aim to only introduce one or two concepts per sentence Technical language should be limited to that taught on the course These measures may improve comprehension and reduce attainment gaps between students Declarations Conflicts of interest: The authors declare no conflicts of interest Funding.

controlled trial\u003c/p\u003e","fulltext":[{"header":"Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eWritten exams are used throughout education, relying on students reading and comprehending questions before answering within a time limit. Question linguistics are important to ensure the process of comprehension and answering can be completed [1]. Within UK universities there is little and variable guidance on the linguistics of exams, anecdotally being limited to an informal sense check of the writing. Specific guidance on writing questions is limited to an arbitrary time to answer, which is variably 60-90 seconds per mark [2 3]. Individual comprehension of a question involves factors intrinsic to the questions and each student [4]. Generally complex English is linked to a poorer understanding in second language speakers; however, this is not seen with subject specific terminology [5], as all learners are taught the new jargon [6-8]. Linguistics and subject complexity are intrinsically linked in the difficulty of a question, however the impact of linguistics is not fully considered when writing questions [1 9].\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring linguistic complexity can be subjective, however, one objective metric is Idea Density (ID), which is measurable by automated part of speech tagging on freely available software [10 11]. ID measures the speed at which new concepts are introduced, defined as the number of ideas in a text divided by the total words. First described by Kitsch and Keenan, they found ID to be the best predictor of the time taken to comprehend text [12]. More recently, the ID of lectures was shown to impact comprehension, with reduced ID improving recall [13]. Reducing ID may increase in redundancy, i.e. words in a sentence that do not convey any meaning. The impact of redundancy is contested [14-16]. However, reducing idea density enough to provide sufficient context would keep redundancy to a minimum [17].\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the UK, pharmacy students must successfully complete a four-year degree and a foundation training programme before sitting the national common registration assessment (CRA) prior to qualifying \u0026nbsp;[18 19]. This exam is administered by the professional regulator the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and the Pharmaceutical Society Northern Ireland (PSNI). Part one of this exam consists of 40 pharmaceutical calculations, written as clinical scenarios, which candidates have 120-minutes to answer. The pass score is standard set and unique to each paper, this averaged at 61.32% between \u0026nbsp;June 2022 - June 2024 [20]. An example of the type of question asked can be seen in \u003cstrong\u003eFigure 1\u003c/strong\u003e, taken from the GPhC\u0026apos;s website.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst some scenarios require prior knowledge, many pharmaceutical calculations heavily rely on interpretation of information. There is a well-documented attainment gap for the CRA, with black students showing the lowest pass rates and international students linked with higher drop-out rate [21 22].\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdea density has been shown to predict the time it takes to comprehend text, so may influence exam performance. However, the effect of idea density in exams has not yet been investigated. Calculations represent a good opportunity to explore the impact of ID, relying on the interpretation of information rather than prior knowledge.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAim\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study aimed to determine whether modifying a question\u0026rsquo;s idea density would influence student performance.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary research question of this study is:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the effect of lowering the idea density of a calculation exam on attainment amongst UK pharmacy students?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secondary research questions are:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes lowering the idea density of a calculation exam influence the pass rate amongst UK pharmacy students?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the effect of each characteristic on students\u0026apos; attainment in pharmacy calculations when lowering idea density?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eFirst language English speaker or not\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eSex\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eAge\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eEthnicity\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eYear of study\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecific learning disability\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Methods","content":"\u003cp\u003eA full description of the methods used can be found in the original trial protocol [23].

The primary measure used was the scores obtained by the students. Data was first tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilks or Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. A student t-test was used to compare the trial arms when they were normally distributed, and the Mann-Witney test for non-normally distributed data. Cohort performance on a question-by-question basis was analysed using a paired t-test.

The sandwich year is an intercalated split foundation training placement only offered at Bradford University). Students in the lower years of the course (Years 1, 2 and sandwich) were shown to perform significantly worse than upper years (Years 3 and 4) in Test 1 in both Groups A and B.

","content":"\u003cp\u003eAnalysis of cohort performance on all questions together showed no significant difference between Groups A (control) and B (intervention) in the baseline Test 1, confirming they were comparable. No overall cohort difference was observed in Test 2/2a, where Group B received questions with a lowered ID. Taken at face value, this suggests that reducing ID is not associated with any difference in performance. However, any improvement is likely to be modest [13]. The impact is also likely to be question specific, one anomalous question may greatly influence overall performance, furthermore complex scenarios more greatly benefit from linguistic change, as also suggested by De Francesco [28]. With this rationale, performance was analysed on a question-by-question basis to isolate any anomalous questions and reduce their impact. In Test 1, Group A and B performed similarly, with each performing better on 6/12 (50%) questions. However, when receiving Test 2a, Group B performed significantly better, performing better on 9/12 (75%) of questions and displaying a higher average percent overall (+5.13%, (p=0.033, 95% CI= +0.51 to +9.76)). This result shows that reducing question ID could improve overall comprehension and performance. It also suggests this effect may be question specific, as the influence of any large difference in one question is reduced in this analysis.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany courses, including pharmacy, have a well-documented attainment gap between several demographics [29 30]. Any improvement from lowering ID on those demographics would be of interest in helping to address these attainment gaps, such as those between students with English as a 1\u003csup\u003est\u003c/sup\u003e or 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c/sup\u003e language and differences in ethnicity. Students’ first language was not shown as a strong predictor of passing in this study, nor did reducing the ID significantly improve the performance of second language (L2) speakers. This is contrary to previous studies that have shown L2 speakers benefit from a lowered ID [13 14]. It is possible that the effect for second language speakers is more pronounced in verbal ID, or that the ID was reduced too far for L2 speakers. This doesn’t appear to be the case here, as L2 speakers did not see a greater than average reduction in performance. Reducing ID too far may be detrimental to performance, however rather than targeting a number, it is of more use to keep in mind that sentences should be limited to one or two concepts. Unnecessary technical language not taught in the subject should also be avoided.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe demographic showing the most significant and consistent improvement when receiving lowered ID was the year of study. The lower years of study were expected to perform worse as the higher years have received more tuition. When the pass rates of students in lower years in Test 1 (receiving the same questions) were compared, no significant difference was seen (OR=2.51, 95% CI=0.88-7.14, p=0.082). \u0026nbsp;However, when comparing the pass rates after receiving Tests 2 and 2a, Group B performed significantly better than Group A after receiving a lowered ID, being nearly four times more likely to pass (OR=3.76, 95% CI=1.11-12.81, p=0.028). As expected, the higher year students performed significantly better in Test 1 when compared to lower year students (Group A: OR=9.15, p=\u0026lt;0.001, Group B: OR=2.86 , p=0.017). Surprisingly, in Test 2a the lower years reduced the difference in pass rate to insignificant levels (OR=1.42, 95% CI=0.61-3.33, p=0.421). This suggests that complex question linguistics were less important for higher years with more training. However, for the lower years the cognitive overload of the complex linguistics with less training affected their performance. Whilst the number of lower year students who took Test 2a was small (27 students) this suggests that question wording can greatly affect student performance. It further suggests that lowering question ID, particularly for questions with complex wording improves comprehensibility.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite students were significantly more likely to pass in Test 2 compared to other ethnicities (OR= 4.12, p=0.022), this advantage was reduced to insignificant levels when taking Test 2a with lowered ID (OR= 2.65, p=0.093). The increase in other ethnicities passing in Test 2a was most prominent in Arabic students who showed an increase in odds of passing when they received Test 2a compared to any other test (OR=5.10, p=0.091). Importantly the reduction in ID didn’t disadvantage any students, with no student demographic performing significantly worse in Group B than Group A in the second test.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeneralisability\u0026nbsp;\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gender split in the study population was heavily female (82%), comparable to the pharmacy population at LJMU, which is 70% female. The ethnicity split was different to that of the UK undergraduate population, which in 2022 was: White 73%, Asian 12%, Black 8% \u0026nbsp;[31]. This makes the results less generalisable to a UK population, however improves the generalisability to ethnic minorities and to the UK pharmacy workforce, which in 2022 was 43% Black, Asian and minority [32]. The majority of participants were under 25-years-old (84%), matching the university population more widely, this makes the results mainly generalisable to a European university population.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe questions were all problem solving and numerical in nature, limiting the generalisability to questions of a different nature.
