We’ve Got Answers.

r 1

This exam is different from any exam you’ve taken before. Being “high risk” simply means that if your risk factors are there and you approach it like the other exams you’ve taken, the odds aren’t going to be in your favor. If you change your approach, though, you’ll be happier because you have a plan that makes sense, and you will pass. That includes focusing on 3 key pillars of board success and having them work together: a manageable core study system, explicit test-taking strategy training, and strong structure and accountability.

That’s why we built the VIP Bundle as “a complete system for high-risk test takers trying to pass the pediatric boards”

If you’re high risk, VIP isn’t “extra.” It’s the safest way to stop gambling with this exam. It combines every core PBR resource, our online test-taking strategy course, Deep Study and Mastering Board Exams lectures, personalized study schedules, and our Live Test-Taking Strategies & Deep Study Course with “one-on-one coaching to help you pass the boards”.

For high-risk pediatricians and repeat test takers, anything less usually means hoping for success, then kicking themselves later. We’ve seen it time and time again.

Absolutely. You’re not alone, and you’re not doomed. Most repeat failures have more to do with the system, strategy, and approach than with intelligence. In the Failed Pediatric Boards guide, I (Ashish Goyal) walk you through the most common mistakes and “a step-by-step plan that’s helped repeat test takers finally pass after multiple attempts”.

More hours and more question banks don’t fix the wrong system. Common patterns include using too many resources, studying from questions instead of a core system, weak test-taking strategy, lack of repetition, and unstructured or burned-out studying.
The “Failed Pediatric Boards article” breaks these down and shows how to correct them so your next attempt isn’t just “more of the same.”

You need fewer resources, deeper passes, real test-taking strategy, and a structured plan that gives you “the formula.” That’s why the VIP system includes a curated set of PBR resources, live instruction on building strong test-taking strategies through a workshop-like experience, and Deep Study lectures to help rewire how you prepare and turn shallow studying into deep studying.

It’s not that much. That’s the great thing about it. It’s just high value. Once you have the right understanding of exactly how to use a system, you can do it without guessing. Once you know exactly how to process board-style questions, you can use that system on every board-style question you come across. That’s leverage, and it actually saves you time. Structure turns “I’ll try to study” into “Here’s exactly what I’ll do today.” Test-taking strategy turns “I’m stuck between two answers again!” into “I can’t believe I got that right even though I’m weak in that area.” Skipping these supports means you’re comfortable gambling with your result.

It depends, but we’ll give you a rough number. What matters even more than the number of hours is how those hours are used, when you start studying, how many repetitions of the material you do, and whether your plan is realistic. We guide you on all of this in the beginning so you don’t waste time and miss your targets. As a high-risk test taker, you should plan for at least 500 hours of focused, structured prep, spread over weeks to months rather than crammed into the last few weeks. Depending on your personal factors, more hours may make sense, and less would rarely be appropriate.

It depends, but in many cases, yes. Once we have a clear understanding of your past and present barriers, we can guide you through the one-on-one coaching done in the Live Test-Taking Strategies & Deep Study Course. You’ll get honest, realistic guidance to help you decide how you want to move forward.

IS THE MOC EXAM RIGHT FOR ME?

The MOC exam (or Maintenance of Certification) is a traditional, 4-hour test center exam that can be taken every 5 years to maintain certification. It has roughly 170 questions, it covers the same material that you studied for the Initial Certification exam, and you cannot use any books or notes during the test. This means that you will need to know approximately 2500 topics.

If you prefer to have a “one and done” experience with board review materials, even if that means a long exam once every 5 years, then this option may be the right option for you.

  • You prefer a “one and done” experience every 5 years.
  • You classify yourself as a good test-taker
  • You don’t mind studying 2500+ topics to prepare for the exam.
  • You can commit 100-150 hours towards your pediatric MOC exam review.

THE BENEFITS OF OUR MOC EXAM STUDY GUIDES

Content icon

Time-Saving

We know how busy the life of a physician can be. Adding studying to that isn’t exactly fun. So we cut out the extra information that is NOT needed to pass. With congruent resources working synergistically together, you can leverage your time at home, in the car, and at work.

puzzle icon 1

Manageable & Repeatable

Learning requires repetition and reinforcement. Our members frequently share stories of going through the materials multiple times because of how concise everything is. You should go through the material at least once, and ideally twice. The curated content and PBR’s straightforward language will allow you to easily review everything you need to know 1-2 times before your exam.

rocker icon

Congruent

PBR’s many resources were created to work synergistically together. Since our audio course, video course and picture atlas follow the order of the topics in our hardcopy content almost exactly, you get to learn in a multimodal way (which has been shown to increase learning) without feeling overwhelmed. 

Content icon

It’s The “Easy Way”

Board exams are never “easy”, but knowing exactly what to do and how to do it will make the board preparation experience much more tolerable. We have a plan for you, and it’s worked time and time again. So please do not study from multiple resources or attend a live course. That would be “the hard way”. Use a streamlined system that helps do one thing; EASILY maintain your board certification.

puzzle icon 1

Priority Customer Service

PBR knows how stressful exams can be. We get it. After all, PBR was created by me (Ashish Goyal, a double-boarded physician) who failed his peds exam the first time. So when you have questions, or are in need of technical support, our #1 goal is to help you quickly and completely in order to eliminate your stress. And if you have a question that only I can answer, you WILL hear from me!
