Written Test Question Bank

"Compared to other on-line written exams, I felt your questions are much more representative of the actual board exam" -- 2008

"Well written, no ambiguity, tough, but fair" -- 2008

"Hate those negatively worded questions, but I understand this is very representative of the exam" -- 2008

"Unfortunately, I am repeating the (ABOG) written boards. Your written test question bank virtually duplicates the exam in that it is computerized and the format of the questions are very similar to the boards. The interpretation summary and narrative explanations of the answers were enormously helpful. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was actually fun." -- 2008

"I appreciate that it can be taken on-line without having to download and the answers can be reviewed immediately" -- 2008

"Convenient and accessible" -- 2008

ABC's faculty, in collaboration with Jolley Test Prep (JTP), has created a series of written exams. These computer-based questions are specifically designed in accordance with recent ABOG written board and CREOG in-service exam formats. The subject matter for the questions is chosen based on the likelihood of occurring on your examination. The majority of these test topics are covered extensively at the ABC course. We also view this as a prime opportunity to add topics that are not explicitly covered at the course, yet may occur on your test. The exam writers are all ABC faculty, who actively practice OB/GYN, which is essential to provide the contemporary insight and expertise necessary to keep pace with current exam trends. Additionally, each question meets rigorous construction criteria for educational soundness.

Because of the unique union of the expertise of ABC's subject matter content, with the educational performance evaluation from JTP, we are able to provide feedback that is not available from any other online written question service. In addition to your score profile, you will also have access to a written summary of how to best interpret your performance. This includes a description of common "error patterns", which are mistakes that test-takers are frequently unaware of but which depress their score. "Error patterns" include spending too much or too little time on questions; being impulsive; "giving away" straight forward questions because they feel there is a "trick"; neglecting the fundamentals; and other patterns that can be straight-forwardly corrected once brought to the attention of the exam taker.

You will also be able to access a list of answers and references for each question which provides feedback similar to ACOG's PROLOG series. Thus the questions and answers are not only informative, but instructive as well. ABC recommends you strive for a score of at least 70% accuracy in order to increase the likelihood that you are adequately prepared for the actual written boards.

We are offering current Diagnostic tests at a fee of $60 for ABC clients. You will have access to the tests and the accompanying report and explanations for one month after the purchase of the exam. We expect these diagnostic tests will help you prepare with more focus and direction. It is our mission to provide you with the tools necessary to increase the likelihood of achieving a score commensurate with your ability.

"Are You Smarter Than a Board Examiner?" Workshop Binder

This is the booklet of 100+ exam questions with an answer key and their narrative explanation that attendees receive at our popular workshop, Are You Smarter Than A Board Examiner? Unfortunately, we can't package the side-splitting laughter and jolly from those that participate in this hilarious game, which is modeled after the TV game show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Needless to say, this gives a whole new dimension on preparing for your written board exam. Who knew studying for OB/GYN could be so fun?!

Best $ ever spent for an exam. This was very helpful to me. In fact, I think this was the best part of the course. The questions were similar to the exam (as I have unfortunately taken it before) and explanations were detailed in all groups.

This workshop was great -- it helped to talk it out with others -- hear how they processed material. I would recommend this to anyone taking the boards.

Her explanations of the questions helped me to see patterns and to focus on what the question is actually asking. I feel this will definitely help me get more questions correct on the boards.

This was a blast...and hugely helpful too!

Test Topics Manual

"I love that the yellow notes have specific ACOG compendium bulletins listed for each topic to direct & focus study of the compendium." Oct 08

"I see why you have the pages in yellow, as they are worth their weight in gold. This allowed me to condense the 900 page syllabus to 55 pages!" Sep 08

The ABC syllabus is based exclusively on the topics that are most likely to occur on your exam. Each lecture is accompanied by a manual that lists the exam focus that has historically and repeatedly occurred on the test. Additionally, the Test Topics Manual has a list of the most up-to-date accompanying ACOG Practice/Educational Bulletin and/or Committee Opinion pertinent to each topic. This Manual not only reinforces the exam focus of the lecture, but is an invaluable study aid to recapture the highlights on later review.

The Test Topics Manual is available for purchase to organize your studying, facilitate your case list construction/defense, or get a jump-start prior to the course. The Test Topics Manual is complimentary to all course attendees.

Medtext Publications

Medtext ABC recognizes the demand for a variety of sources for written questions by candidates preparing for their ABOG and AOBOG primary and maintenance of certification written board exam, as well as for their CREOG in-training exam. Although we offer such a service, our bank is limited, and we know practice makes perfect. Thus other internet services' questions are reviewed for compliance with our rigorous educational format, similarity to the actual exam format, and an appropriate advanced level in content. Only MEDTEXT meets our standard of excellence. We are proud to provide a link to their site for your perusal. We welcome your feedback.

Course Recordings

If you can't come to our course or ideally would like to reinforce what you learned at the course, then our recordings are the best solution. We recorded our September 2007 course, which was updated in 2010. The recordings are available as audio only (mp3 format on CD) or audio and visual (DVD).

We have selected speakers that best represent your examiner's perspective. Thus the subspecialty topics are delivered by our MFM, Gyn Oncology, and REI subspecialists; the office gyn topics by our generalists and family planning, and the primary care by our internist. Like your examiners, our speakers are a mix of academicians and private practitioners. Every speaker is a clinician, who walks the talk.
