What do I do if I fail the Pediatrics board exam?
The first thing you should do is just take it easy, sleep on it. Give yourself a few days, a week or two to come to terms with what has happened. Your next exam is six months to a year away. Dr. Jack has more advice in this video, What Do You Do If You Fail Your Medical Board Exam?
Pediatrics Certification Exam Scoring
Pediatric Critical Care exam results are reported using a 1 to 300 scale, with 180 designated as the passing mark. A test taker’s score on the 1 to 300 scale does not reflect the percentage of questions answered correctly. Instead, a 180 represents the minimum level of knowledge required to pass the examination.
Pediatrics Exam Format
Pediatric Critical Care Exam questions are written in a single-best-answer multiple-choice format. Each question is followed by four or five answer options, one of which is the correct answer. Questions may require the interpretation of a graphical illustration, such as x-ray studies, growth charts, and photographs, to answer correctly. Example of a single-best-answer multiple-choice question format:A newborn baby is born to a 32-year-old mother. He was born at 39 weeks of gestation via Cesarean section. The birth weight is 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and macrosomia is noted. The APGAR score was 4 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes. The mother has a previous history of rheumatoid arthritis, for which she takes methotrexate. However, the rheumatologist asked her to stop taking the medication during the pregnancy. She does not have a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or any other medical conditions. Physical examination reveals a BMI of 31 kg/m2. The pregnancy has remained uneventful, apart from 2 urinary tract infections in the first trimester and one episode in the second trimester. What is the most likely mechanism for macrosomia in this patient?
◯ A. Elevated fetal phenylalanine levels ◯ B. Enhanced fetal nutrition ◯ C. Fetal hyperglycemia ◯ D. Not known ◯ E. Nutritional programming
