ABA Advanced Exam

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What information might one glean from this at this point?
I meant that there was no more maintenance going on, as far as I could see. I didn't realize it may be a different database, duh!

I can't see why they tell some PDs and not others. Whatever, the suspense continues I can't imagine them not being released tomorrow

My PD wouldn't BS tho, if he had them we would know
 
::shrugs:: I guess my PD was lying then when she texted myself and my co-residents our exam results. I don't know why some PDs would say they don't have them when mine said she did.

I never realized that hyperbaric therapy or obscure landmark based blocks were such cornerstones of modern anesthesia practice...

Agree. In fact, a friend of mine who took this exam with me made an excellent point:

It almost wouldn't qualify as an anesthesiology exam.

Don't read too much into other web site messages during their on again off again maintenance shenanigans.

When I logged in to get my oral results, there was a prominent link to more information on how to sign up to take the oral ... I figured that meant I failed.

The wankers.

Passed! I spent about 1 week blasting through ~2/3 of TrueLearn. Not sure how much it actually helped.. I felt very underprepared and wouldn't have been surprised with a 'fail.' Phew. I'll definitely be preparing more for oral boards.
 
Some have been able to start signing up for oral boards. You have to refresh the home page a lot and it's laggy, but it works. All weeks still available.

Hope you enjoy spending some big coin.
 
It appears now the earliest open dates are at the end of May. Do the dates normally get snatched up that fast?
 
Congratulations to everyone who passed! Good luck with oral boards. It's a ridiculous hurdle, but that doesn't diminish getting over it.

Yeah, even after passing, it was still the biggest joke I've ever been a part of. Didn't test our anesthesia prowess, nothing like the ITE, but whatever upward and onward

Regardless of how silly some of the hurdles are, it's still a significant accomplishment and something to be proud of. Not every one of us gets there, and 99.9% of the people in the world never even attempt something so difficult. Congratulations for passing this part. 🙂

I often think it would be fun to kick some of those clowns at the ABA square in the 'nads but I'm still proud of my board certification.
