How to Increase Your Pediatric Board Exam Score
We already know pass rates for the ABP exam hover around 85% for all test-takers. This article is going to show two very easy ways to help increase your Pediatrics Certification score by 50 points. While there is no magic pill or wand to achieve this, these two techniques are the most useful, easy to implement and only requires a little of your time. This means anyone can take advantage of them. The first tactic is to use a system over a couple of months to identify what you don’t know. Sounds easy, right? The key is to go through a curriculum and identify what you don’t know – not what you are weak at – but what you don’t know. The second strategy is to take advantage of human error. Tests are written by humans, of course, and humans make errors. This article will show you 5 very easy techniques to narrow down an answer choice to either the correct answer or to a 50/50 probability – even without knowing anything about the topic. By combining these two strategies, you’ll be able to increase your Pediatrics certification score by 50 points – which could be the difference between passing or failing. Let’s get started.
