Written Test Question Bank"Compared to other on-line written exams, I felt your questions are much more representative of the actual board exam" -- 2008 "Well written, no ambiguity, tough, but fair" -- 2008 "Hate those negatively worded questions, but I understand this is very representative of the exam" -- 2008 "Unfortunately, I am repeating the (ABOG) written boards. Your written test question bank virtually duplicates the exam in that it is computerized and the format of the questions are very similar to the boards. The interpretation summary and narrative explanations of the answers were enormously helpful. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was actually fun." -- 2008 "I appreciate that it can be taken on-line without having to download and the answers can be reviewed immediately" -- 2008 "Convenient and accessible" -- 2008 "The testing bank...excellent, excellent. I really liked the feedback analysis and the simulated exam. Before ABC my score was 65% - after ABC, 78%. This is a great adjunct to the course." -- AB August 2010 ABC's faculty, in collaboration with Jolley Test Prep (JTP), has created a series of written exams. These computer-based questions are specifically designed in accordance with recent ABOG written board and CREOG in-service exam formats. The subject matter for the questions is chosen based on the likelihood of occurring on your examination. The majority of these test topics are covered extensively at the ABC course. We also view this as a prime opportunity to add topics that are not explicitly covered at the course, yet may occur on your test. The exam writers are all ABC faculty, who actively practice OB/GYN, which is essential to provide the contemporary insight and expertise necessary to keep pace with current exam trends. Additionally, each question meets rigorous construction criteria for educational soundness.Because of the unique union of the expertise of ABC's subject matter content, with the educational performance evaluation from JTP, we are able to provide feedback that is not available from any other online written question service. In addition to your score profile, you will also have access to a written summary of how to best interpret your performance. This includes a description of common "error patterns", which are mistakes that test-takers are frequently unaware of but which depress their score. "Error patterns" include spending too much or too little time on questions; being impulsive; "giving away" straight forward questions because they feel there is a "trick"; neglecting the fundamentals; and other patterns that can be straight-forwardly corrected once brought to the attention of the exam taker. You will also be able to access a list of answers and references for each question which provides feedback similar to ACOG's PROLOG series. Thus the questions and answers are not only informative, but instructive as well. ABC recommends you strive for a score of at least 70% accuracy in order to increase the likelihood that you are adequately prepared for the actual written boards. We are offering current Diagnostic tests at a fee of $60 for ABC clients. You will have access to the tests and the accompanying report and explanations for one month after the purchase of the exam. We expect these diagnostic tests will help you prepare with more focus and direction. It is our mission to provide you with the tools necessary to increase the likelihood of achieving a score commensurate with your ability. For a sample of our questions, click here. $60.00.

Test Topics Manual"I love that the yellow notes have specific ACOG compendium bulletins listed for each topic to direct & focus study of the compendium." Oct 08 "I see why you have the pages in yellow, as they are worth their weight in gold. This allowed me to condense the 900 page syllabus to 55 pages!" Sep 08 The ABC syllabus is based exclusively on the topics that are most likely to occur on your exam. Each lecture is accompanied by a manual that lists the exam focus that has historically and repeatedly occurred on the test.

Course RecordingsIf you can't come to our course or ideally would like to reinforce what you learned at the course, then our recordings are the best solution. We recorded our September 2007 course, which was updated in 2010. The recordings are available as audio only (mp3 format on CD) or audio and visual (DVD).We have selected speakers that best represent your examiner's perspective. Thus the subspecialty topics are delivered by our MFM, Gyn Oncology, and REI subspecialists; the office gyn topics by our generalists and family planning, and the primary care by our internist. Like your examiners, our speakers are a mix of academicians and private practitioners. Every speaker is a clinician, who walks the talk.
"Your audio lectures were a great tool and was the 'music' I listened to on my way to/from the hospital. I have to share a funny story about them: they have a dangerous side too. One early morning I was driving home after a long night at the hospital and of course I was listening to one of your lectures, the one about the ureteral and bladder injuries. You said we have to know and memorize the course of the ureter and I found myself listening to your commands: 'I want you to close your eyes and imagine the ureter traveling...', and I was driving, and I closed my eyes; fortunately the gravel on the side of the road startled me out of my trance. That was a close call, but guess what they asked me on my exam? Yep, the course of the ureter...that one I couldn't suppress a laugh as I answered." -- VD December 2010 "The course topics were spot on with my exam topics." -- CC November 2010 Click HERE to view sample videos from our lectures.Prices start at $100.

Because many of us did not receive a formal course in safety, this may well be your only opportunity to find an objective review collaborated and endorsed by BOTH ACOG and ABOG. ABC’s Safety Course Manual provides a narrative summary of each chapter and written exam questions.$50.00 standard ground delivery included. Order HERE. | |||||||||||||||
