A medical student must pass rigorous entrance tests including academic test, academic potential test, health test, and interview test. The test is expected to have predictive value for the academic achievement of students reflected in block test. This study aims to predict the entrance test with academic achievement. This study correlates academic test and academic potential test with block tests in the first semester for student academic year 2018 (n = 106 students). Spearman correlation was conducted to determine the correlation between academic test and academic potential test with block test students in semester 1. There were negative correlations of academic test with block test (-0.254, p<0.05) and positive correlations of academic potential test with block test (0.457, p<0.01) in the first semester. This study shows that the students who have high academic test has lower block test and students who have high academic potential test have a higher block test. The academic potential test can predict the academic achievement of medical students.
