A total of 197 former student records were obtained and used in the statistical analyses; 118 were employed in correlation analysis and to develop a Registered Health Information Administrator certification examination success prediction model and to establish a 95% Approximate Prediction Interval, while the remaining 79 records were used to validate the success prediction model. Ten independent variables were evaluated: race, ethnicity, mother tongue, age, four professional course grades, and two grade point averages.
