Guidance For Test-Takers Who Are Low Risk
As a "low risk" test-taker, you’re in a great position to pass as long as you follow a proven path to success.
WARNINGS
- Many board review companies prefer to inundate you with so much information that you could never blame them if you fail. When in actuality, that may be the very reason you do! You become overwhelmed and unable to review the materials more than once. Other companies give you so little information that you waste time researching basic concepts in order to understand a 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.
Not sure if you are at "low risk" for failing the pediatric boards? Review the checklist below, or go through our RISK CALCULATOR and find out.
A pediatrician who is at "low risk" of failing the boards is one who...
If the above list describes you perfectly, great! If there are some items that do not describe you, then you might be at moderate risk for failing the pediatric boards. And if you're not sure about your risk for failing the pediatric boards, go through our RISK CALCULATOR now and find out.
Next Steps For Low Risk Test-Takers
First, do not get comfortable! One of the biggest reasons why low risk test-takers fail the boards is overconfidence. This exam is different than any other exam you've taken, so take it very seriously.
Plan on setting aside 300 hours of prep time. Your studying should focus on a proven source of knowledge that is concise, manageable and repeatable. One that's been shown to consistently help pediatricians score above the national average through a multimodal approach to learning.
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
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!

Listening to PBR lectures while commuting... Slide shows... Mnemonics...
So much relief! It was very helpful listening to PBR lectures while commuting to and from work (long commute). Slide shows also helpful to get a visual. REALLY appreciated the development stories, also other mnemonics.

Dr. Crystal Shen // Board Certified Pediatrician
I took the boards right after finishing residency last year and I highly recommend it.
I looked through SDN and asked lots of former residents about lots of recommendations on what to use and I got a multitude of answers. But then I heard about PBR and... it worked out really well... It was high yield. I feel like a lot of other resources aren't as high yield in terms of the information that's on there, on all the weird little nitpicky things that you never learned during training and you'd never use while practicing. That was in PBR... I passed with a very comfortable margin.
Dr. Crystal Shen // Board Certified Pediatrician
A LOT of the questions were VERBATIM topics addressed in PBR!!
As a resident I wanted to be proactive about preparing for my boards. What drew me to PBR is that the content [is] concise, manageable and affordable. I would listen to the audio on my commutes to reinforce key points. A LOT of the questions were VERBATIM topics addressed in PBR!! I also liked the online test taking strategy courses because it helped me work through the questions. I also recommend it to one of my co residents and they passed too!! Thank you ASHISH

I love PBR... I followed it to the letter and passed with flying colors with no issues whatsoever.
There's a difference between studying to be a good physician... and then there's studying for the boards... I just needed the stuff that I needed to be able to pass the boards with no issues whatsoever. And I mean PBR had it in there... I followed it to the letter and passed with flying colors with no issues whatsoever. I felt very confident during the exam, walking out of each session going, WOW... I nailed this thing. And I did nail it. It's pretty awesome.
Dr. Stephen Barbera // Board Certified Pediatrician
I think they really understand how stressful this experience can be....
I found the context manageable so that I was able to go through it at least a few different times with various levels of detail... I passed which I attributed to the foundational knowledge I was able to focus through the PBR curriculum. Thank you for all of the help. In addition, throughout my experience with PBR, I found that the staff was very responsive when issues came up and customer service was always the priority. I think they really understand how stressful this experience can be.
