Results came out today. Looks like 10.4% of people failed as well. If anyone is interested can see all the stats here: ABPMR - Exam Statistics
Did exceptionally well on my written boards, but failed on the interpersonal and communication domain. In hindsight, I would have done a lot more mock exams. Even after finishing, I knew I didn't hit a perfect score or anything, but I didn't think I failed either. Such a strange exam. Now I have my speciality boards coming up which I'm no longer a candidate for and the ABPMR only offers the exam once yearly. This feels like a major barrier for us by not offering more exam dates and having to put everything on hold - and for what exactly?
Anyone else with me here? Can anyone talk from prior experience and how this affected them as they start going into practice? Is an appeal worth it? What checkboxes do I really need to hit to pass on my interpersonal skills?
