Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Progress Test Performance in German-Speaking Countries

Figure 4

Radar charts showing variations in the percentage share of correct answers within each PT pair disaggregated by subject. Every PT shares a considerable number of questions with the PT that took place five semesters before. Data for these charts were collected from tests that took place from April 2017 to December 2020 (36 = summer semester 2017, 37 = winter semester 2017/18, 38 = summer semester 2018; 41 = winter semester 2019/20, 42 = summer semester 2020; 43 = winter semester 2020/21); further data treatment was performed in March 2021. Axis labels refer to absolute changes in percentage shares, with the thicker black circumference corresponding to 0% (no change). For every PT pair, only medical disciplines with at least two associated questions are featured in the corresponding graph. PT, Progress Test.
