Control of students’ knowledge is an important part of the learning process as a means of managing the learning process. Entry-level assessment is carried out before learning a new subject in order to identify residual knowledge of students in the disciplines that provide the study of a new course. The article analyzes the results of testing the entry level of knowledge of second-year medical students to assess the theoretical training with subsequent use as a prerequisite for successful organization of the discipline. Employees of the department developed packages of test tasks; each ticket contained 8 questions corresponding to the main sections of the school biology course, as well as the discipline “Physiology” (blood, blood circulation, digestion and excretion, respiration, nervous and humoral regulation of body functions and sensory systems). Analyzing the test results, it was found that the success rate (number of correct answers) in 2021 is lower than in 2019. The decline in the overall rate may be due to the introduction of distance education in 2020 due to the spread of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Based on obtained the results, the staff of the department developed measures and made appropriate decisions to take into account the identified features, as well as further tracking the learning outcomes of applicants in the process of studying the discipline.
