Pediatrics.

A Boards-Pass Guarantee
The overall failure rate remains high. Why? It isn't
because physicians don't know their stuff; it's because
the examination covers such a broad range of topics. The
test assigns 10% of its content in image
interpretations, radiographs, and ECGs. It includes
formulas you haven't had to look at since medical
school, and also requires knowledge of relatively
obscure areas where the standard of care is changing.
Test-taking is a science of its own, but Challenger
relies on a proven 100-year-old methodology known as
programmed learning to bullet-proof you on the required
pediatrics exams! The programmed learning method still
yields the highest cognitive exam scores in comparison
to more fashionable (but less reliable) techniques.
Challenger ignores fads and fashions so that we can
GUARANTEE your success.

Board Simulations

in emergency medicine. Divided into smaller modules, you
can take these tests in between patients or in the
comfort of your own home.
Know what to expect before you walk through the door
on exam day.
