The ABEM qualifying examination is administered once per year, usually in the fall. Physicians who have registered for the examination through ABEM schedule a one-day appointment to take the ABEM examination at one of over 200 computer-based testing centers.
The qualifying exam is divided into two sections or books, each separately timed and each lasting three hours and ten minutes. Once candidates complete one timed book of the qualifying examination they cannot return to it to review answers. Each book of the examination consists of both pictorial and non-pictorial multiple-choice questions. Pictorial abem exam questions refer to stimulus images, such as photos of x-rays, EKGs, rhythm strips, pictures, etc. These images will be presented along with the relevant test question on the computer screen.
Test schedules allow adequate time to complete each portion of the ABEM exam. Candidates who leave the examination room during the examination will not have compensatory time added to the allotted examination period.
To enter the abem board certification, candidates must provide one piece of government-issued picture identification: a driver’s license, state-issued identification card, or passport is accepted. Hospital identification is not acceptable. ABEM does not issue candidates an “entrance ticket” to take to the examination.
