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. 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 9th. Either email Darya Valantsevich at dvalantsevich@acog.org or call her at 202-863-2548 to arrange this and choose your testing center.
