Until you are OFFICIALLY BOARD CERTIFIED, no matter how good you are, YOU WILL NOT HAVE JOB SECURITY.

The first attempt is when I used the MedSt***, I used Peds In Rev***… The second time, I took PBR and passed easily. I found it online myself and then I started using it, and I loved it. I went through it multiple times… and that’s all I needed. There is a lot of mnemonics all throughout it that I still remember to this day.

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.

After failing pediatrics boards twice and internal medicine boards three times, I've spent the past four years feeling like there was something wrong with me, that I wasn't as smart or qualified to do my job as my colleagues. Thanks for all that you taught me that enabled me to get to this happy day. I am now officially double boarded and ready to get on with my life.

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 passed with a VERY comfortable margin... all the weird little nitpicky things that you never learned during training and you'd never use while practicing... That was in PBR... I highly recommend it!

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.

Thank you so much for the PBR book!... I got to know about PBR through some of my seniors and studied hard with it along with question banks... This resource definitely helped solidify core knowledge needed for the exam and I couldn't have gotten my score without it… I really do appreciate the support PBR has provided! Thanks again!

[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…
