title: How well does the psychiatry residency in-training examination predict performance on the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Part I. Examination?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Scores on the American College of Psychiatrists' Psychiatry Residency In-Training Examination (PRITE) were correlated with scores on the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) Part I examination in psychiatry.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pearson correlations between 1992 PRITE scores and 1994 ABPN Part I psychiatry scores were calculated. Analyses were based on 701 examinees.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was a moderate correlation between scores on the PRITE and ABPN Part I examination in psychiatry and a low correlation of neurology scores.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These correlations were observed even though the two examinations differ in their purposes, content outlines, development, and administration.
