Ashish,

Wanted to drop a quick note of my success with the MOC exam using PBR... I really wanted something formal to study. I used the PBR book, the VAPP and a lot of prep questions. Happy to report a scaled score of 289!

Ten years ago, I used Med Study - and although I passed easily, I found it to be very cumbersome and not really a lot of clinical or practical information.

PBR was the exact opposite. Very Clinically relevant. I was really impressed with so many directly helpful tips... Additionally, a lot of the points stressed in the PBR were verbatim on exam questions!!!

Kudos Ashish and PBR team on a great product.

I am recommending your book to everyone!

Highly recommended! I wish I would have purchased earlier, would have saved me money and time. Med study for MOC is overkill.

The content is great. I liked being to access the material via hard copy, the computer, iPad, etc. What impressed me most was how quickly I was able to get through the material -- it was definitely an efficient and pain-free way to study... PBR really emphasized efficiency and delivered its promise to get me prepared in a painless and fast way.

You are the only one who brings such service. I can’t imagine any other “tutorial ” or system that could beat what you have done.… I wish I had the PBR during residency because I would have a different life story. Even though money is tight in residency, I recommend it.

Just wanted to let you know that I passed my MOC Exam with a score of 85% – better than expected. Although I had very little time to study, your materials were of great benefit... Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

I would not have passed if I didn’t have this material. I highly recommend PBR. This was the only study guide I used for MOC. I have a busy practice and family so studying for this exam was the lowest priority on my to-do list. I read through the material only once, but the information is direct and concise.... I just hope there is an update 7 years from now when I have to do it again.

I really didn't want to spend too much time studying for the exam and only had about 2 months to study. I had mentioned to my office manager that I wanted to go away to a review conference for a week. A week being gone was very costly not just the expense of the trip but the lost revenue. 

​That's when I found this website. Five minutes here and there was what I did. Best $100 dollars spent. I passed the pediatric MOC exam with an 88%.

T​hanks for saving me over $10,0000!!!!!!

Just wanted to let you know that I PASSED MY ABP PEDIATRIC RECERTIFICATION EXAM, and I couldn't have done it without PBR! I followed your study plan with a twist:

1) The first time through PBR, I rewrote the text into several notebooks​.  This took a really long time, but really helped me "read" the material. Then, I reread my notes 5 times , writing notes in the margins, etc. I haven't had to study like this in years, and rewriting the material helped my mind learn how to study again, so this step is only for those who may have some cobwebs in the attic!

2) 3 years of PREP questions, 100 questions at a time, under test ​conditions. Then I would read all the answer/explanations, and annotate my notes as needed. 

3) ABP's practice test

If PBR is still around in 10 yrs, I'll be repeating steps 1-3!​

Thanks Ashish!​

​

Best prep I've had so far... The core study guide wins down. The ultra-concentrated material eliminated all the lagniappe facts, and I felt I was really studying what I would have outlined had I gone through all the subjects first. The mnemonics were stellar, if not a little goofy ;-), but that just added ti their utility. I will likely remember some the mnemonics for the rest of my life, especially the autosomal dominant diseases. I was most glad that I had the Q&A section, and a shocking amount of those showed up on the exam. As a matter of fact, the corrections you sent out at the last minute also helped me answer questions.

If you're thinking about getting the PBR, you're going to get a resource that will enable you to successfully review all of the material at least once, and likely more than once, with a focus on the highest yield subjects.

Even though money is tight in residency, I would  buy PBR to learn the mnemonics from the beginning. It will assist you in life on the Board. ​

Dear Ashish, 

Also wanted you to know. I passed my recertification in ​peds with an 81. This doesn't sound like a big deal except that my career was riding on it with the new ABP requirements. I have been practicing neonatology for the past 20 years... so you can imagine how concerned and anxious I was sit for the peds. recertification. Your course ABSOLUTELY  made the difference as well as your advice to stick with your materials! THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!!!!!

This was the - I'm ashamed to admit - 7th time I took the test. The most recent attempts had me failing by 1, then 2, then 1 scoring increments, (400, 390, 400). I have taken the Cleveland Clinic course twice and the New Orleans course once. While they are both excellent presentations and provide review of the content, they are not really geared toward teaching "what you need to know" to pass the test.

PBR filters out the unnecessary, highlights the critical points, and provides a framework and memory aides that encourage mastery of the content...I do fee it was the key to getting me the PASS....

Thank you, Ashsih, for putting this out there and for helping me again the knowledge and confidence I needed to pass - finally.​

- Dr. G​
