description <h3>Introduction</h3><p dir="ltr">Self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses through self-reflection are important for life-long learning and development. The aim of this study was to assess the alignment in third-year undergraduate pharmacy students' self-reflections of their objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) performance to their actual OSCE scores and explore the most common aspects students reflected on as markers of perceived performance.</p><p><br></p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">Students completed a three-station OSCE and a written self-reflection about their performance. These reflections were coded using a latent pattern content analysis, with categories defined as “doing well (≥ 50% on exam)” and “not doing well (< 50% on exam)” and compared to their actual OSCE exam scores, to determine the degree of alignment.</p><p><br></p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Two hundred sixty-nine students completed the OSCE and reflection. Students had a low degree of alignment between their self-reflections and actual OSCE performance. Low alignment was overwhelmingly prevalent and significant in high-achieving students with OSCE scores of ≥90%. Most common aspects students reflected on as indicators of performance were finishing on time and communicating effectively. High-achieving students reflected on aspects such as empathy, systematic questioning, and patient teach-back as aspects of their performance.</p><p><br></p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">Student reflections on exam performance do not align with their actual performance, particularly amongst the high-achieving students. High-achieving students were more aware of the different aspects that affected their performance. To ensure that high-achieving students are aware of their strengths, educators should provide more targeted feedback mechanisms and positive reassurances to help these students become more confident in their decision-making skills.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cptl.2024.04.013" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cptl.2024.04.013</a></p>
