This study aimed to investigate the potential of progress testing to help academic management. To this end, the performances of medical students in the Progress Test applied in 2008 and reapplied without modifications in 2011 were analysed. The results showed that in the Progress Test of 2008 progression occurred once every two years of the course and in TP 2011 progression started only from the third year onwards. In the areas of Public Health, Surgery and Basic Sciences there was no gradual accumulation of knowledge since the beginning of the course, which merits reflection on behalf of the curriculum managers.
