I will take the sleep boards next year, if I get this done. I started the application for sleep boards and went through until the payment option. Just waiting to be certified in Psych. They are not consistent with several things like sending emails to some, making the sub-specialty applications for some and ignoring some...
I think it may be a good idea to give the choice to each individual program to pass or fail their residents based on their performance throughout the 4 years of their residency
or
Completely reforming the board exam by taking off all the unnecessary crap and make it more relatable to our current practice guidelines.
and
they need to change their IT/admin team

Completely agree with you
Yeah, that's my understanding. People who have subspecialty examination applications showing vs not have both passed and failed in prior years.
I also now have the subspecialty apps. Although it means nothing I’m going to let it give myself hope.
Class action lawsuit anyone? This is a human rights violation!!!
Anyone who did not have the available applications for subspecialties? I curious to know if there is a pattern. Please post here if you have the subspecialty options available or not. We can keep track of the pass or fail also. If we are able to decode, this may help the future participants with their anxiety..lol
It's OUT! I passed. Thank you Jesus. It has been an honor struggling beside all of you.

Wooo! I am board certified.
Here it is folks...
n=1
I did not study A SINGLE MINUTE for the exam. I walked into the testing center, passed, and moved on with my life.
If you are a resident who does well on PRITEs, then you DO NOT need to study for this exam.
Cheers

Passed. Thank god.
I like the graph they showed for passing, mean, and my score, but I'm surprised they didn't include a percentile for my score. Anyone know how to figure that out? Thanks!!
Passed~
Nope. Still waiting.
Dock I hate to ask but I’m gonna did you pass?
I’m so sorry my friend.
I also don’t see results for CAP. However, if I download my Continuing Certification Status Certificate it says I’m certified in both psych and CAP. I don’t trust this site until I see the real thing, but it’s encouraging!
Hopefully they are putting in all the subspecialty scores as we speak. Unfortunately, mine only says certified in adult psych.

Agree, passed, was good on PRITEs. I did study (Kenney and Speigel only) but I don’t think it made a difference.
I'm sorry bro. This is such absolute bull****, especially since we had to wait 13-weeks. IMO if you really don't need the board cert maybe just not do it. Idk what more experienced people think. This whole thing is a scam. We're not forgetting:
a) How HORRIBLE the exam was, especially with PRITE-tier, BAD, irrelevant questions (at least USMLE had decent questions)
b) The wait time
c) The smugness in response to the wait times
Sorry to hear that. I was in that boat last few years. I studied everything what I can but I was not able to make it multiple times. I was not a great test taker but was never bad. I felt I can not make it and may have to continue with out certification. But I passed. If I can, anyone can. All the best.
It says on the pamphlet that the standard score is 300, and stdev of 50. So you should be able to calculate one.

Passed on the 4th try. Missed by 1 mark last year. This has been long overdue.

I have been there the last 3 times. Words cannot explain the hurt. But you can do this. Stay strong. It is an absolutely nonsense exam that beats you down for no reason. In my opinion, beat the boards is a very bad prep course. I don’t think it helped me even a bit.
I took the exam without studying anything at all on the first try. Second try i did BTB and scored the exact same as without studying.
Board Vitals + Kenny and Spiegel is what did it for me.
You got this!

Says the requirements for 2025-2027 block will be available in January 2025.
Isn't it valid for 10 years? Why they say 2025-2027? My certification also says it is valid until Dec 31, 2027. Is it same for all?
Thats if you are doing the exam recertification. If you are doing article pathway, it's every 3 years. There is an option on Portal where you can switch.
I am not able to see any options to switch
Is it saying that "you're certified in both psych and CAP," or it says that "you're complying with the standards for continuing certification in Psych and CAP"?
Passed child boards! Just randomly logged in now and results were available!
There should be an orange rectangle box that says Edit CC enrollment. Once you click that it will show the two options.

passed!!!
Anyone have any recommendations on what material to review besides K&S and Board Vitals? I hear this year the exam was very hard and had many weird questions.
I did K&S, Board Vitals. In the last month, I did Truelearn also but was not able to complete the question bank. I felt that K&S was very helpful. I failed the exam few times and I can see that the questions were different this year and felt that I failed again. Also, I felt there were lot of questions which you don't find in any question banks, particularly questions about Neurology/Neurobiology, psychotherapy, research studies/stats. I think, if you are strong in DSM, psychopharmacology, basic neurology and ethics, you should be good.
Scores are out. For child at least!
