Exam Results

Certifying (oral) exam results are posted in myABR two weeks after last day of the exam.  

Conditions

If you fail one or two categories, you have conditioned the oral exam. A conditioned candidate will be examined by two examiners in each conditioned category on the next year’s scheduled dates. The candidate must receive passing scores from both of these examiners to remove the condition. A candidate who has conditioned one or two categories may voluntarily elect to re-take the exam in subsequent years within the six-year interval of board eligibility.  

Failures

If you fail three or more categories, you have failed the entire exam and must retake all eight categories. A candidate who fails the oral exam may be reexamined on the next year’s scheduled dates, but may voluntarily elect to re-take the exam in subsequent years within the six-year interval of board eligibility.
