Materials & Methods: This cross correlation study was conducted on 440 people. By using stratified random sampling 206 ones were included in the study. The research method is "cross correlation", and Kolb Inventory Questionnaire was used as research tool. In order to analyze the data, regression and Pearson correlation were applied. Results: According to the results, the significance level was less than 0.05. Consequently, it is revealed that there is a significant relationship between learning styles and the entrance exam scores.
