  • The traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage has nothing to do with corn.  Instead in the process of curing beef, large grains of salt is used also known as "corns."


Test Taking Technique:
By Dr. Krishna Das, ABC course director 

ABOG set a precedent in 2010 exam by not relinquishing the board exam scores, so candidates received only a pass or fail grade.
