Table 2 Simple logistic regressions of ESCUW (vs no ESCUW) on performance in the individual components of each examination. The table shows b = loge(OR), OR (i.e. eb) and its 95% confidence interval, and the odds ratio for comparing the likelihood of ESCUW in candidates at the 2.5th percentile (i.e. 2 SDs below the population mean examination performance) and at the 97.5th percentile (i.e. 2 SDs above the mean performance). All b values for predictors are significant with p < 0.001
