     Written Exams:

This section consists of written examinations. There are 4 exams containing 150 questions each for a total of over 600 questions.

Study Mode gives you the option to view the answer, if you wish. You may also immediately view the notes pertaining to the question on the screen.

Test Mode will generate a true test, where answers are unavailable. The test is timed, and consists of 150 questions, just like the real thing. In this mode, the computer grades the exam and displays your score. The display gives a percent score for each section. You may then review the incorrect questions (Review Screen). The program will display the question, your answer, and the correct answer. You have the ability to go directly to the written notes to review the information pertaining to the question. This allows for rapid correction as well as immediate reinforcement of the study material.

You may select one of 5 tests (125 questions each) which will consist of mixed questions from all categories or build an Individual category test made up of only questions from a specific category. This is quite useful for concentrated study in weak areas.

Note: If a test question is associated with a case presentation and/or picture, the Case and/or Picture button will be present. These test aids are being used extensively now on the written exams.

     Oral Exam:

• This section contains sample oral questions. You are presented with a question sheet and an examiner's information sheet. The examiner's information sheet contains the important points that an examiner will be looking for and the points to pass list. There are eighteen cases that cover past areas of interest by the board.
• We also have a review and suggested approach to the new CBPS (Computer Based Patient Simulation) software now being used for the orals.
