American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) Boarding Process

[Balmoral]

I will be taking the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) written exam. I wanted to get feedback from those that have taken the ABN exam and their experience. How long did you study? Any specific materials to focus on?

I appreciate any guidance. I'm starting out with Stucky, Kirkwood, & Donders (It was written for ABCN but I assume the material should be similar to the ABN exam) which is fairly detailed and I hope to build more from there. Thanks!

Let me know what you think of Stucky et al.'s overview.

For the ABPP Exam I've heard that the Stuckey review is a good starting point, but that you need some more indepth reading. Think Heilman and Valenstein. I need to start my ABPP process soon.

The abcn written test isn't hard. Just use the prep materials online.

I really like it a lot. Even before my application was accepted, I've been using it as a quick reference for various pathologies. It's organized well and gives a nice foundation for populations I don't commonly run across.

Thanks for the recommendation. Man, I forget how dense these books can be...

Can you elaborate on the online prep materials? Are you talking about the BRAIN website? I assume the ABCN and ABN exam are pretty comparable.

For those that have taken the ABCN or ABN exam, how long did you study before taking the exam?

I was referring to the BRAIN wiki, specifically the sample exams and written study materials.
