Testimonials

"This is a great board review course! The interactive sessions really solidify the lecture content and build confidence!." 

"“Amazing review for Urogyn. I’m going to tell all my friends about this course.” – JD

“The other review courses that I attended just "regurgitated" information, whereas ABC actually "drilled it" (I use that term in a good way) incorporating strategy. An outstanding feature is the opportunity to add various services while at the review course (mock orals, structured cases, etc). ABC is personalized in its approach as well as in its teaching. The faculty realizes and capitalize on the fact that different people learn and retain information in various ways ....I remember many of the instructors/lecturers stating "this is just a different way of remembering/learning this particular topic"; that in itself, is worth its weight in gold!” KH

"Even though a lot of people attend, the leadership seems very interested in each of our individual questions and concerns, which made me feel like they are genuinely interested in helping me succeed." 

The course environment is nurturing and collegial. I found a couple of study-buddies at the course. We had phone dates at least once per week for the last couple of months leading up to the exam - oral studying is the best practice (you were right - probably the best advice!)

"This was not the first time I was taking the exam. I had failed once before. I didn't take the time to study as I should have and also didn't study the right way. I didn't study until the board review course (took a different one), which was three weeks before the exam. And after that, I barely had time to study with my other clinical and family responsibilities. I assumed that I would pass, as I have done well with cramming for previous exams. This was not the exam to do that. Cramming does not work."
"After I failed, I spoke to a colleague who had gone through the same thing and she said to contact Dr. Das. I contacted Dr. Das immediately and started the process right after the New Year. There are no words to describe how grateful I am to have worked with ABC. The staff were not only supportive when it came to the course materials, but were also there to help me through the process emotionally. During the time I was preparing for the course, I felt like I had friends that I could reach out to, and they were immediately available. I also was in a situation where I could not pay for all items upfront and Stephanie Orr spent hours with me putting together a financial plan. NO other course would do that. They went above and beyond in all regards."   

If I could go back and do it all over again, I would have gone with ABC from the start. Hands down. I highly recommend it for anyone taking the test for the first time or retaking it."   AA

"Thank you so much for your help, can’t thank you enough and your ABC family: Angela, Stephanie, and Jennifer.
It was last year when I reached out to you to help me out. I lost my hospital privileges because I should be certified within 5 years not the 8 years from ABOG. I was forced to resign so it will not reflect on my record. I was able to get into a practice and hospital willing to take me in with condition to pass the exam within the time allowed by ABOG. You gave me a strategic plan to pass this exam once and for all.  I started the preparation for 1 year starting with your February-March webinars. Case list construction In April and the course. Went back in November for Case list defense and mock orals. It was an incredible journey for somebody with multiple exam failures."   -- AD

"SO glad I spent the time and money." 

"I wanted to thank all of you for your help in this whole oral exam process. The workshop, the course, and the mock orals were extremely helpful to me and really made the difference in my confidence level during the test. Thanks so much for helping me pass! I will be certain to recommend your course to others." -- EL

"I watched the video clips on your website of Dr. Das giving a mock oral and was surprised at how accurate they were to the actual exam. Although it brought back bad memories of the exam, her style was just like my examiners: direct, fair, and professional. I had participated in (another company's) webinars and then their group and individual mock orals in Dallas.  Their style is malignant, belittling -- I remember the feelings of fear, incompetence, and shame. Needless to say, this put me in a tailspin that I couldn't recover. After talking with Dr. Das on the phone to strategize for my 2nd attempt, I truly believe had I started with ABC, I would have had a completely different mindset and perhaps outcome. I guess we'll find out. I just want to alert others to not fall prey to the same scare tactics. Don't make my mistake." - NA
