What do I do if I fail the Oncology 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?
Medical Oncology Certification Exam Scoring
Overall performance is reported on a standardized score scale ranging from 200 to 800, with a mean of 500. To pass the Medical Oncology board examination, your standardized score must equal or exceed the standardized passing score. Your performance on the entire exam determines your pass-fail decision.
The passing standard for the Medical Oncology exam is set by ABIM committee using standard-setting techniques that follow best practices in assessment. Because the passing standard is based on a specified level of mastery of Medical Oncology content, no predetermined percentage of examinees will pass or fail the exam.
Medical Oncology Certification Exam Format
The Medical Oncology Certification Exam (CERT) board exam is composed of up to 240 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions. Most questions describe patient scenarios and ask about the tasks performed by physicians in the course of practice. (Note that around 40 of these are new questions that do not count in your score.) Example of a single-best-answer multiple-choice question format:A 70-year-old woman presents with atraumatic ecchymoses around her eyes and mouth. The lesions are waxy and nonpruritic. She is otherwise asymptomatic. Your biopsy reveals positive red deposits with green birefringence under polarized light. Her lab results show abnormal renal function and monoclonal band in urine, a normal platelet count, and 15% plasma cells in her bone marrow. Her skeletal survey is normal. She has increased creatinine. Which one of the following conditions is most likely present in this patient?
◯ A. Acute myeloid leukemia ◯ B. Multiple myeloma with pancytopenia ◯ C. Multiple myeloma with amyloidosis ◯ D. Sarcoidosis ◯ E. Systemic (AA) amyloidosis
