About this exam
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology Qualifying Examination is the written examination in ABOG’s initial certification process. It is generally taken by physicians who have completed an accredited obstetrics and gynecology residency and meet the Board’s current eligibility and application requirements. The exam assesses knowledge and clinical judgment across the specialty; it is not a residency entrance test. Candidates should confirm their eligibility, application steps, and examination requirements in the official ABOG materials for their cycle.
Preparation calls for broad review of obstetrics and gynecology, with focused attention to areas such as reproductive endocrinology and infertility, contraception and family planning, benign disorders of the uterus, ovaries, and adnexa, and gynecologic cancers. Candidates should also connect core knowledge to clinical scenarios, practice explaining why plausible alternatives are wrong, and revisit missed concepts over time. Timed multiple-choice practice can help build pacing and decision-making skills, but the current ABOG examination guide remains the authority on format and tested content.
How to prepare for the ABOG Qualifying Examination
- Review the current ABOG examination materials and use their content guidance to organize a study plan across obstetrics and gynecology.
- Revisit high-yield gynecology topics, including infertility, contraception, benign adnexal and uterine disorders, and cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers; connect each topic to diagnosis and management.
- Use timed question sets to practice prioritizing clinical details, then keep an error log and review the reasoning behind both missed questions and uncertain answers.
