Understanding Your Score Report
While you may be worried while waiting for your score report, there’s good news: the majority of physicians pass the exam on their first attempt.
Once you receive your score report, it’s a good idea to review the areas in which your scores were lower than others, as that can help you decide where to focus your learning activities in the future. We’ve created a cheat sheet to help you understand in your score report.
If you were not successful on your exam, please review ABIM's Board Eligibility policy to confirm when you'll be able to take your next certification exam.
