  • How Does ABIM Create Its Assessments?
    January 17, 2023  |  ABIM creates and administers at least 50 initial certification and traditional, 10-year MOC assessments across nearly two dozen disciplines each year and 15 Longitudinal Knowledge Assessments (LKA®) quarterly. This number continues to grow with the development of the LKA in additional specialty areas. For every assessment, each question is developed, reviewed, revised, approved, pretested, and then discarded (if shown to not be working properly), or revised and tested again before finally appearing on an assessment as a scored question.
