ConCert Examination Description and Content Specifications

The Continuous Certification (ConCert) examination is similar to the former recertification examination. There are, however, two important differences.
• It is administered at over 200 Pearson VUE professional computer-based testing centers.
• It is a shorter examination of approximately 205 multiple-choice questions.
The ConCert exam is a comprehensive examination that covers the breadth of Emergency Medicine. Each ConCert examination appointment is approximately five and one-quarter hours in length, with four and one-quarter hours devoted to actual testing time. The style of the test questions is identical to that of the recertification examination test questions, i.e., single-best-answer, positively-worded, multiple-choice questions focused on what the practicing emergency physician needs to know when treating patients.
The ConCert examination is a criterion-referenced examination. The High Yield Emergency Medicine Text Book by ConCertPrep.com will be helpful for those who are appearing for this exam.
