Advice 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...

  • Has never failed any medical board exams
  • Typically scores near, or above, the national average
  • Self-identifies as someone who is a good test-taker and generally does well on standardized board exams
  • Graduated from a US medical school
  • Was never “at risk” of failing the boards based on residency In-Training Exam scores
  • Comes from a residency program with a pass rate of greater than 90%  (click here and check your residency's pass rate)
  • Will take the boards in the same calendar year as their graduation from residency
  • Scored at least a 222 on the USMLE Step 1

Next Steps For
Low Risk Test-Takers

If every residency program could adopt this, I think our board score average would go up 'like that' nationwide.

Benefits for Our -
Low Risk Members


Direct Path to Success

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.

100% Pass Guarantee

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.

Community Support

Never feel stuck in isolation while studying again! 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. After all, PBR was created by me (Ashish Goyal, a double-boarded physician). When you have questions, or are in need of technical support, our #1 goal is to help you quickly and completely. And if you have a question that only I can answer, no problem. Just ask!

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". Or, for the price of an extra shift, you can use a streamlined system that helps pediatricians just like you score above the national mean.

Pass your exam on your first try... GUARANTEED.

We have a Money Back First-Time Pass Guarantee, and we also offer a 30-day refund policy for our "All Access Pass" memberships. For other memberships, our hardcopy products come with a 30-day refund policy and our digital resources come with a 48-hour refund policy so that you can make sure you have the best fit. If you aren't completely satisfied, just ask and we will gladly refund your purchase price.

Advice for Test-Takers Who Are
Moderate - High Risk


As a "moderate to high" risk test-taker, you have some work ahead of you. However, the great news is that there is a clear and proven path to success that has been used to help pediatricians pass after six, and 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 so much information that you could never blame them if you fail. 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. A pediatrician who is at "moderate to high risk" of failing the boards is one who...

  • Struggled to pass (or failed) ANY medical board exam
  • Usually scores below the national average
  • Classifies themselves as having difficulty with standardized board exams
  • Is an International Medical Graduate
  • Was told they are “at risk” of failing the boards based on In-Training Exam scores
  • Comes from a residency program with a pass rate of greater than 90%  (click here and check your residency's pass rate)
  • Has taken a year off from studying for the boards, or is taking the boards the year after graduating from residency
  • Scored less than a 222 on the USMLE Step 1

Next Steps For Moderate -
High Risk Test-Takers


Plan on setting aside 500 hours of prep time. Your studying will need to focus on the 3 pillars of board success:

  1. 1
    Content
  2. 2
    Test-Taking Strategy
  3. 3
    Commitment

Content


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.

Test-Taking Strategy


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. 

Commitment


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.
