Dr. Ashish Goyal,
Board Certified Pediatrician,
CEO of PBR Since 2011
I passed the Step exams by a thin margin, but got a 215 on my first try with the help of PBR! I loved the books, the audio course, the online test taking strategies course, and the personalized schedule.
I passed my boards on my 4th shot!!! I increased my score by 24 points. After spending about $15,000 over these past 4 years, the GAME CHANGER was PBR! Words can’t express what passing means. Please don't stop doing what you are doing and keep impacting lives!!
I used PBR, amazing resource... I went all in. Between the book, videos and online pictures... It was perfect...
I love PBR... I followed it to the letter and passed with flying colors with no issues whatsoever..

It was a total of 7 attempts. My previous scores range from 159 to 167. Last year, I passed with a 196 and the year before was 164. So that's a solid 32-point increase just when I changed to PBR. I didn't study anything else, just PBR as my main source of content... If not for PBR, I don't think I would have done it, period. I hope people realize it and I mean it... You changed the world for me, Ashish. I'm very grateful for that.
Loved, loved it!... …the greatest thing I think I took out from the review book was that it was very high yield... I got through the book… twice or 3 times. I passed comfortably.
I did fail 3x and wouldn’t have passed without Pediatrics Board Review… It’s all because of you, my life changed.
It really actually worked. I got the book, I took it once and I passed.

I liked the videos because then I could just put them on and have a go… I also had the audio, which was helpful for when I was walking… It was structured so that you could go through each topic at a time… I passed! I passed well.
It was amazing. [I failed TWICE, but it] felt so easy after using PBR… Easy ways to remember things. The mnemonics, it was very helpful… and it helped in practice too. It was perfect!... I still use it as a reference.
I passed the boards… MORE than comfortably....
The book provides the perfect balance of depth and succinctness that helped me be successful… I was able to pass comfortably with a score higher than the national mean which was exciting as I have typically scored just at or below the mean on my Step exams.

pediatric board exam results and insights for 2024
In March of 2024, the ABP released the national first-time pass rate for 2023's initial certification exam. The first-time pass rate increased from 80% in 2022 to 82% in 2023. This was, in part, due to the high first-time pass rate of PBR members (estimated at 98% - 99%). PBR has helped pediatricians pass after 9 and 10 failed attempts. Read this article about the 2023 results and why PBR is (again) the "go to" resource in 2024!

[I failed] TWICE. In the beginning with the book, you will say that it’s TOO EASY. But it’s okay, that’s what it is... I think that it was very easy and that it was high yield... thank you very much!
PBR literally saved my butt. I was never good at standardized exams and was an "at risk" resident… The details were just right for passing the boards and the organization of the material made it easy for memorization.
I learned about Pediatrics Board Review after the SECOND time I didn’t pass the boards… It has really changed my life.
With the other resource they provided, lots of details which are important but not necessarily high yield board topics and that’s what PBR provided… Thank God I was able to pass on my first try and now more people at my institution and program are starting to use it…
