The
Topic Exams follow the format described in the
Candidate Handbook. You may
take as long as you wish for each question, but you may not skip a
question. The Topic Exams offer an excellent method of selectively
reviewing specialized topics in anesthesia, whether in preparation for
course exams or the certification exam. In addition, the Topic Exams
offer valuable experience in computerized test taking.
Following completion of a
Topic Exam, you will receive a raw score, the time it took to complete
the exam, and a list of all your
correct and incorrect responses.
All answers to the
Topic Exam questions are
fully explained and referenced so you may further explore areas of
interest or increase your knowledge in areas of academic weakness. You
will have access to the referenced answers for not less than 28 days
after completing the exam.
