<br/><br/> RODIL, LHEO SALVACION, "Comparative Analysis on the Performance of CvSU Engineering Students on the Qualifying Examination from A.Y. 2002 — 200C. Special Problem, Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics (with Specialization in Statistics), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2007, Adviser: Renelyn R. Cordial. <br/>The study was conducted to: (1) determine which among the subjects included on the qualifying examinations highly affect the results of the examination; (2) compare each academic year and determine which performs best and which performs least based on the results of the qualifying examination; (3) formulate the logistic regression equation between the examination results (dependent variables) and the grades on the different subjects on the examination (independent variables). The independent variables considered were the different subjects included on the qualifying examination such as Algebra (X1), Trigonometry (X2), Analytic Geometry (X3), Differential Calculus (X4), Integral Calculus (X5), Chemistry 1 (X6), Chemistry 3 (X7), Physics 1 (X8), and Physics 2 (X9). <br/>It was found out that there were six subjects included in the qualifying examination which affected the result of the qualifying examination with the use of point-biserial correlation coefficient. These were Algebra (XI), Trigonometry (X2), Analytic Geometry (X3), Differential Calculus (X4), Integral Calculus (X5), and Chemistry 3 (X7). Among these subjects, Trigonometry (X2) with t — value of 4.036, highly affected the result of the qualifying examination while the subject Physics 1 (X8) with t — value of 0.357 had the least effect on the result of the qualifying examination from the critical value of the t — test statistics of 1.96. <br/>Among the performances of each academic year on the qualifying examination, A.Y. 2001 — 2002 had the best performance after taking the qualifying examination with 41 (87.23 %) students who passed and six (12.77 %) students who failed while the least performance on the qualifying examination was recorded during A.Y. 2003 — 2004 with 28 (50. 91 %) students who passed and 27 (49.09 %) students who failed on the said examination. The derived logistic regression model was: logit (Y) = 7.632 — 1.097 x Algebra (Xi) — 1.357 x Trigonometry (X2) The logistic regression model showed that Algebra (Xi), and Trigonometry (X2) were the predictors which highly affected the probability of the students to pass the qualifying examination in College of Engineering and Information Technology. <br/>
