Practice scenarios and follow‑ups that reflect the ABS Certifying Exam.
Oral boards test your ability to think out loud and defend decisions. Here's what traditional prep misses.
Traditional prep issue
Reading prompts silently doesn't prepare you to articulate your thoughts under pressure. Oral boards expect you to think out loud and defend decisions confidently.
Traditional prep issue
Coordinating with attendings or paid examiners ($200+ per session) is exhausting. Times don't work, they run late, and you're practicing when you're already tired.
Traditional prep issue
One examiner tells you you're great. The next tries to scare you into buying more sessions. You never know if you're actually ready.
Traditional prep issue
You can only practice so many times with real people before exam day. Most residents could use more repetitions to build confidence.
