Abstract : This quantitative study investigates the performance trends of criminologist licensure examination candidates from December 2021 to July 2024, with a focus on both first-time examinees and retakers across seven exam schedules. By employing a time series plot for trend analysis, the study visually tracks the fluctuations in passing rates, revealing significant variations over the specified period. Notably, a marked improvement in passing rates for both groups begins in August 2023, continuing through 2024. The study explores various factors that may have influenced these changes, including potential alterations in exam formats, shifts in preparation strategies, or systemic interventions aimed at enhancing candidate performance. The analysis offers valuable insights into the impact of these factors, providing a deeper understanding of how they may have contributed to the observed trends in exam outcomes, and underscores the evolving nature of licensure examination performance over time.
