Diving for Pearls for ABOG Certifying Exam

You're not diving for just any pearls, you're diving for those priceless Pearls of Exxcellence. This is a compilation of topics determined by ABOG to be the most challenging and often missed questions on the oral board exam. This is a rare opportunity to gain a unique insight not just into those exam topics using this topic index to guide and point you to the right direction in getting the full content from the website.  Updated in September 2023

• The only public stance by ABOG on the certifying or oral exam
• Organized by month & year
• Organized by exam topic

Not only do we list these topics, but we categorize these gems by subject. It's fascinating to note the same old topics that repeatedly stump candidates. You get one (peg) leg up for the ABOG Structured Cases section of the exam, but you should also cross-reference these topics to those on your case list. You'll gleefully exclaim "Arrrgh" when you crack open this oral exam treasure chest.

This resource is a topics guide to the full content that can be accessed on the SASGOG Pearls of Exxcellence website.
