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…

What Our Low Risk Members Have to Say
Loved, loved 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!
Loved, loved it!
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.
Loved, loved 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.
Loved, loved it!
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
Loved, loved it!
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.
Loved, loved it!
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.
Loved, loved it!
In all my past studying, I felt like I had no direction, no path, that I was studying kind of randomly and blindly. PBR helped me to create a framework to follow exactly, and kept me true and accountable to a study schedule. Not only was the live test taking strategy course crucial to my learning a new way to tackle these exams, but it was also so helpful to have specific material that I knew I needed to know. I am now officially double boarded and ready to get on with my life. Thanks for all that you taught me that enabled me to get to this happy day.
Loved, loved it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Ashish. Finally a board certified pediatrician. And looking at the scores I can say that without you… I couldn’t have done it.

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…
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:
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.
Test-Taking Strategies For ALL Risk Categories!
A focus on Test-Taking Strategies should be on the minds of everyone taking the Initial Certification exam. If you plan on studying 300-500 hours but have subpar test-taking skills, you will be in real danger of failing.
If you have any questions at all, please reach out now. So many high risk residents and pediatricians recognize that they are high risk but opt to try to pass without strong instruction on becoming a better test-taker. In comparison to the number of hours and the expense associated with repeating the exam, the investment of time and money into the Live Test-Taking Strategies & Deep Study Course is a small one.
So You Failed The Pediatric Boards? Use A Study Schedule That Works!
I failed the first time too. Following this schedule helped me (and many others) pass the second time around. Read this article now and get schedule to help you structure your study time and the time you’ll need to practice board-style questions.
Why AAP PREP Questions Are NOT The Best Study Questions For the Pediatric Board Exam
Pediatricians often treat AAP prep questions as a study resource. This is a very common mistake. Read this article to understand the difference between how you should, and how you should not, use the AAP’s prep questions to help you pass the pediatric boards!
How Many AAP Prep Questions Should I Do to Pass the Pediatric Boards?
When using the AAP PREP questions for PRACTICING board-style questions, is there a minimum number of questions I should do? Is there a better way to use PREP questions to prepare? Should I use them to study? Get all your questions answered in this article!
Test-Taking Strategies for Medical Board Exams
It’s possible that you are not a great test-taker. Focusing only on the topics is not enough. You need to develop strong test-taking strategies to help you break-down, process, and answer questions quickly! Learn 3 strategies that you can incorporate instantly to help you pass any medical board exam.

Loved, loved it!
Wanted to drop a quick note of my success with the MOC exam using PBR… I really wanted something formal to study. Happy to report a scaled score of 289! Ten years ago, I used Med S**** – 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. Kudos Ashish and PBR team on a great product. I am recommending your book to everyone!
THE BENEFITS OF OUR MOC EXAM STUDY GUIDES
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
