What Content Does the ABR Qualifying Exam Cover?

The ABR Qualifying Exam tests students on the necessary skills for effective patient care. Students will display an ability to pull from culminating information and differentiate between multiple potential conditions when delivering a diagnosis. The exam also emphasizes patient management skills.

How Is the ABR Qualifying Exam Administered?

The exam is administered remotely. Students take the exam on their own computers in a location they feel most comfortable. The 274-question exam is split across four modules and takes roughly five hours to complete.

How Important Is the ABR Qualifying Exam?

The ABR Qualifying Exam is one of the most important tests for aspiring radiologists and is the final step toward becoming board-certified. The ABR requires those who fail to pass the exam within six years of completing their diagnostic radiology residency and undergo an additional year of training with an ACGME-accredited program.

How Is the ABR Qualifying Exam Scored?

You can receive two possible scores on the ABR Qualifying Exam — either a pass or fail. A committee of board-certified radiologists assesses each exam to determine success or failure. Test takers will receive feedback on their performance regardless of their score.

When Can You Take the ABR Qualifying Exam?

The ABR Qualifying Exam is available twice a year to those who are at least 12 months removed from their diagnostic radiology residency and have previously passed the core exam. You can view the ABR's exam schedule online.

Not only did I pass, but I passed in the categories I'd struggled with the most.

I totally wish I knew about Medlearnity earlier! The ABR CORE radiology examination was an absolute beast! I took the exam more than once, and my frustration, discouragement, and anxiety grew exponentially with each attempt. I had studied all the same videos, books, apps and Q-banks that all my colleagues had (several times). I often heard people say, "Oh, just study this – this – and this. That's what I did. You'll be fine." But it was never enough for me to pass. I needed help!
I realized that formal tutor options were hard to find for a specific/high level exam, like the CORE. In my online search, I came across Medlearnity, and sent them an email to see if they could point me in the right direction. Within 48 hours I was on the phone with Akshay, who had passed the CORE exam himself is exceptionally qualified as a tutor! Together we mapped out a study plan, using his "Task Manager." He introduced me to the Remnote tool, which is much more effective than traditional flashcards. He also recommended a few particular review series and case books. We spent time walking through these books together, specifically in my weaker subjects. Akshay put me in touch with Louis, who is also a phenomenal CORE tutor! Our sessions together were productive, emphasizing the high-yield concepts. Not only did I pass, but I passed in the categories I'd struggled with the most. If you're going to take the CORE exam, don't hesitate to reach out to Medlearnity.
I totally recommend them, and the sooner the better. You'll be glad you did.

Working with my tutor Louis was a phenomenal experience.

I had a great experience studying for the radiology CORE exam with the resources provided by Medlearnity. I did not pass the exam on my first try and reached out to Medlearnity for help. Working with my tutor Louis was a phenomenal experience. I had most of the knowledge of the material, but Louis was able to help with strategies and test-taking skills that helped me pass the second time. Louis is very experienced as he helped many others with this exam. Doing questions and learning how to think through them as well as understanding how the material can be asked were very helpful to my success. If I was to do it all over again, I would have used Medlearnity sooner. Thank you Medlearnity!
