What do I do if I fail the Family Medicine board exam?
The first thing you should do is just take it easy, sleep on it. Give yourself a few days, a week or two to come to terms with what has happened. Your next exam is six months to a year away. Dr. Jack has more advice in this video, What Do You Do If You Fail Your Medical Board Exam?
Family Medicine Examination Scoring
It takes approximately 6-8 weeks from the last date in the examination window for candidates to receive their final and official examination results, which may be accessed in the MyABFM Portfolio when available.
The minimum passing score for the Family Medicine Certification Examination is set by the ABFM Board of Directors Examination Committee and reviewed on a regular basis. A standard setting study is conducted every three years with ABFM diplomates who have recently passed the examination to continuously analyze the passing standard through the review of examination questions.
Family Medicine Examination Format
The Family Medicine Certification Exam consists of four 95-minute sections (75 questions each) and 100 minutes of pooled break time available between sections.
