About this exam
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology Obstetrics and Gynecology Qualifying Examination is a board-certification examination for physicians who have completed an eligible obstetrics and gynecology residency and meet ABOG’s current requirements. It assesses medical knowledge across the specialty; it is not an entrance exam for residency. Candidates should confirm their eligibility and application requirements in the current ABOG Bulletin of Information, since requirements and procedures may change between examination cycles.
Preparation calls for broad review of obstetrics and gynecology, with attention to applying knowledge to clinical scenarios as well as recalling facts. Obstetric topics include prenatal care and routine pregnancy management, maternal-fetal assessment and fetal surveillance, hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia, and diabetes and other medical disorders in pregnancy. Build a study plan around the current ABOG blueprint, your clinical experience, and areas where you are less confident. Timed multiple-choice practice can help you identify gaps and improve pacing.
How to prepare for the ABOG Qualifying Examination
- Review the current ABOG examination blueprint and Bulletin of Information, then map their content areas to a realistic weekly study plan.
- Revisit core obstetric management, including prenatal care, fetal surveillance, preeclampsia, and medical disorders in pregnancy; use current clinical guidance to check recommendations.
- Use timed question sets to practice interpreting clinical scenarios, record recurring errors, and revisit the underlying concepts rather than memorizing isolated answers.
