WARNINGS

There are may others which give you so little information that you waste time researching just the basics in order to understand a bigger topic.
- In order to avoid BOTH of these scenarios, you need comprehensive yet streamlined study materials to help you master the topics that are proven to be on the boards.

- PBR offers a well-though-out and proven system that has helped thousands of members pass their boards on the FIRST TRY. It's a unified solution for all of your board study needs. If you can set aside those 300 hours, we'll show you exactly how to use them.
- With the PBR Efficiency Blueprint (located in our study guide) and a Money Back First-Time Pass Guarantee, we take on the risk for you.
What Our Low Risk Members Have to Say
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.

As a low risk test-taker, you will get a clear plan through the PBR Efficiency Blueprint. You'll know how many hours to set aside, how many times to review the material, how to use a multi-modal approach to learning to maximize results, and how to guarantee a pass.
Time-Saving
We know how busy your 3rd year of residency, your first year as a fellow or your first year as an attending 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.

We believe so strongly in our proven track record to help our members pass that we put a Money Back First-Time Pass Guarantee on it.

It's The "Easy Way"
You are at "low risk" because you know how to study, how to answer exam questions, and how to work hard. You can study mounds of information, and go to a live course, and do this the "hard way".

30 Day Money-back Guarantee
Our #1 priority at PBR is your satisfaction. We are here for you!

Clear preparation... Very high yield material... Amazing support... I highly recommend it!
I appreciated how PBR gave clear preparation advice and very high yield material for the boards. Following this advice, I felt I was adequately prepared for the exam. I also appreciated that the PBR Team, Ashish, and the Facebook Crew were an amazing support and helped to keep me motivated through the studying process. I highly recommend it!

Advice For Test-Takers Who Are Moderate - High Risk
A pediatrician who is at "Moderate to High risk" of failing the boards is one who...
As a "Moderate to High" risk test-taker, you have quite some work ahead of you
- However, the great news is that PBR is a clear and proven path to success that has been successful in helping pediatricians pass after six, or even seven, failed attempts. This means that as long as you follow our recommendations and make board review a priority in your life, you'll pass.
- You MUST stay away from the board review companies offering high amount of information. Because with that much information overwhelm, you WILL fail.
- You need a manageable amount of information that you can review multiple times, and you need support in the areas of test-taking strategy and managing your schedule.
- Not sure if you are "at risk" for failing the pediatric boards? Review the checklist below, or go through our RISK CALCULATOR and find out.
Pediatrics Board Review
Next Steps For Moderate - High Test-Takers
Plan on setting aside 500 hours of prep time. Your studying will need to focus on the 3 pillars of board success:
Content
Test-Taking Strategy
Commitment
- The typical approach to covering board-relevant content for most high risk test-takers involves trying to study everything they can get their hands on. Sadly, that's a terrible mistake. Instead, you should focus on a proven source of knowledge that is concise, manageable and repeatable. One method that's been shown to consistently help pediatricians score above the national average is the multimodal approach to learning;which is learning the same content in multiple different modes. I suggest going through your material at least 5 times in order to achieve the repetition and reinforcement needed to pass your pediatric board exam.
- Working on your "test-taking strategy" will allow you to become a much better test-taker so that you can apply your knowledge on the exam and stop falling for the many traps laid out by question-writers. If you are high risk for failing, then strongly consider the Live Test-Taking Strategies & Deep Study Course to elevate your skills to an elite level in just 2 days.
- Within reason, your commitment this year should be to place your board preparation above all other professional and social obligations. You should also get a Personalized Schedule to map out the next 90 days of your life and your study time. After that, you should map out the next 90 days again, and again until your exam.
- The right bundle for you is the "No Brainer" package below. It does an excellent job of providing you with the resources and the personalized support that you will need to take on the 3 pillars of board success (content, test-taking strategy, and commitment). You will receive a well-though-out and proven system that has helped thousands of members pass their boards on the FIRST TRY, and has helped helped high risk pediatricians pass after 5, 6 and even 7 failed attempts.
- It's a unified solution for you, and if you can set aside those 500 hours mentioned above, we'll show you exactly how to use them.
With the PBR Efficiency Blueprint (located in our study guide) and a Money Back First-Time Pass Guarantee, we take on the risk for you.

What Our Moderate - High Risk Members Have to Say
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..
Benefits for Moderate - High Risk Members
Proven Effectiveness
Almost 25% of the pediatricians who buy our study guides have failed the pediatric boards before. We have helped the highest risk pediatricians pass after as many as seven failed attempts. So if you follow the PBR system, you will prove to be successful too.
Manageable & Repeatable
PBR knows you already are on limited study time, so we focus heavily on efficiency and keeping our materials concise. Learning requires repetition and reinforcement. Our members frequently share stories of going through the materials more than 5 times.
Congruent
PBR's many resources were created to work synergistically together. As a moderate-high risk test-taker, you want to maximize your exposure to the content. Since our audio course, video course and picture atlas follow the hardcopy content almost exactly, you will learn in a multimodal way (which has been shown to increase learning) without feeling overwhelmed.
Community Support
Studying in isolation is a horrible way to lose momentum and confidence. Through PBR, you will get access to our entire members-only community taking the same exam and studying the same materials. Even our board certified PBR alumni are here to help answer questions about pediatrics, or just questions on how to survive such a long exam!
Priority Customer Service
PBR knows how stressful this exam 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!
It's The "Easy Way"
Board exams are never "easy", but knowing exactly what to do and how to do it does 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 4-day board review course and do this "the hard way". Use a streamlined system that helps pediatricians just like you score above the national mean.
