Test Taking Technique
Case List Strategy  

Make sure you know ALL the categories on each summary sheet, not simply the ones you have applied. This is especially applicable to the office case list, where you may have strategically dodged those dreadful primary care categories. EVERY SINGLE category is fair game on the test. Our Oral Exam FAQs can spoon feed you questions similar to those most frequently asked in each category.

Test Taking Tip 
Written Exam Candidates

Since ABOG no longer reports your score for the written board exam, unfortunately the only resource to gauge your performance is the CREOG in-service-training exam (January 17-20, 2018). Anyone, not just residents, can take the exam, and is STRONGLY advised for those who are repeating their board exam. Don’t worry…the results come only to you. However, the one page application and $120 examination fee is due November 6th. Either e-mail Darya Valantsevich at davalantsevich@acog.org or call her at 202-863-2548 to arrange this and choose your testing center.
