This study examines the predictive power of different parameters on FMCE (Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation) pretest score. The sample consists of students attending a large eastern land-grant university in the US enrolled in the introductory calculus-based mechanics class (N=2457). A variety of parameters were used to predict FMCE pretest score including gender, underrepresented minority status, first-generation status, high school GPA, college GPA, ACT/SAT score, college math entry level, AP classes taken, transfer credits, class standing, prerequisite course grade, and college credits completed. Correlation analysis and linear regression were used to understand relations between the variables. Several parameters were statistically significant explaining the variation of FMCE pretest score including AP classes taken, class standing, and calculus-readiness.
