WHAT ARE THE 7+ RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO?
The ALL ACCESS PASS and the NO BRAINER are by far the most popular memberships for anyone taking the initial certification board exam. If you have one of these, please make sure you take advantage of all of these resources!
- PBR’S COMMUNITY! This includes Ashish Goyal, “Team PBR,” PBR’s summertime webinar content experts, and the MEMBERS-ONLY DISCORD GROUP. JOIN THE INVITE-ONLY DISCORD GROUP NOW! Do not study in isolation! You have a community of pediatricians to support you. The COMMUNITY aspect is one of the most valuable components of the PBR system.

- HARDCOPY PBR CORE STUDY GUIDE: YOU WILL LOVE YOUR “PBR!” It is at the center of your success blueprint. Carry it everywhere, highlight it, draw pictures, create mnemonics and add notes to help you cement the 2000 MUST-KNOW topics in this book. After your exam, I promise you that you will MISS IT!
- HARDCOPY PBR Q&A BOOK: KNOW this book! It is NOT a random collection of questions. The material should be considered CORE material for you to study over and over again. Carry it around and mark it up! Make sure you review this book as many times as you review the Core Study Guide.
- ONLINE VERSIONS OF THE PBR CORE STUDY GUIDE: All 2000 topics are available in a scrolling PDF style format and in a topic-by-topic, searchable format. Keep this open and use the one-click image links while you study or after each two-hour block of studying. It’s iPhone/smartphone compatible, iPad/tablet compatible and desktop compatible.
- ONLINE VERSION OF THE PBR Q&A BOOK: Have a few minutes while at work? Open the scrolling PDF version of the Q&A book and go through one or two questions.
- PBR WEBSITE: The website has a TREMENDOUS amount of valuable content. Each article was written to help address a need expressed by pediatricians. Read as many of the articles as you can! There is also a TOOLS section where you can find links to discounted pediatric board review question banks.
- PBR’S TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES: Physicians are not taught HOW to take tests. GOOD pediatricians with sound clinical reasoning WRONGLY believe that a board exam is a measure of one’s knowledge base, and thus a measure of one’s abilities as a clinician. That is completely false.
Exams require mastery of the English language, mastery of pacing, mastery of your emotional state during an exam, and an understanding of the deceptive tactics employed by question-writers to create seemingly possible yet blatantly WRONG answer choices.PBR’s ONLINE TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES & COACHING COURSE (included in the No Brainer bundle) offers insights into this “board game.” You will stop viewing question as miniature patients and start viewing them as miniature riddles. Riddles with concrete rules and strategies to help you reach the correct answer quickly (even when you often lack the clinical knowledge!). Understanding the rules of the game will completely change your outlook on how to prepare for the exam and how to use board review questions for PRACTICE instead of content. I HIGHLY recommend the PBR Test-Taking Strategies & Coaching Course for anyone who is taking the boards, but especially for those who are “at risk.” This includes you if:- You have failed this exam at least once
- You typically score below the national average on your board exam scores
- You have failed ANY USMLE Step exam
- You were classified as “at risk” during residency based on your in-training exam scores
- You are more than 1 year out of residency
The course helps you understand the techniques and skills associated with answering board-style questions correctly. We’ve helped MANY pediatricians finally pass the boards after failing multiple times, including ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, NINE, and TEN times! So, helping you should be easy.
To get just a taste of how you can increase your board scores immediately, and to learn a few of the rules to the “board game,” click here and read a PBR article I wrote titled, “3 Strategies to Skyrocket Your Score!” – www.pediatricsboardreview.com/techniques

(FROM MEMBERS OF OUR ONLINE COURSE AND/OR OUR LIVE COURSE)
Ashish, I did it. I can’t thank you enough for creating an amazing system to keep me on track with my studying. And the $2000 for the live weekend test taking course was well worth it. Doing the technique during the test kept me focused and allowed me to eliminate wrong answers. Thank you for all the great advice, sticking to the material, memorize, memorize, memorize then practice practice practice. After 4 failed attempts, it was exhilirating to finally read the words, “we are PLEASED to announce you PASSED!” I will definitely recommend your program. God Bless

Definitely helped to get a better understanding of the “board game” that Ashish mentions. I’m sure I’ve fallen prey to those traps in the past.
Also, knowing the types of questions and the algorithm to figuring out how to spend my time answering the questions– never would have thought about the Hybrid approach to just reading the last line of the vignette for “this/these” questions.
Really didn’t know that I shouldn’t be spending time reading through the whole vignette… or doing the “top to bottom” approach!
Overall it was great and I really appreciate you taking the time and effort putting this together and making sure that we can succeed our first time around.
Helped immensely with reading/understanding the “English” of the questions – I actually would’ve gotten one example question wrong in the past had I not used the AaCNI mnemonic
I had very little time to prepare for the boards… The core study guide helped me focus on topics that were high yield on the exam. In addition, the strategies taught by Ashish were very helpful and is what I believe helped me PASS. I would highly recommend the PBR for anyone needed to review in a short period of time. It is worth every penny!

The first time, I didn’t finish… I landed a 166. The next year I joined PBR and went over the book 3 times. I should’ve taken off two weeks prior, but only managed one. I earned a 179. Heart breaking. But how could I give up when I only needed one point. So this year I went over the book at least 5 more times. I did the ATL live test-taking strategies training and learned how to process through choosing the most correct answers. I arranged to have at least 3 hrs of deep work everyday and did a chapter a day plus prep questions from that section. Two mos before the exam I did med study practice blocks of 84 questions timed to practice randomized subjects. This time I got a 208… The tears of relief…really I can’t describe it as intensely as we felt it. So much time, work, money, defeat I had felt…finally redeemed. The sacrifice my family made, finally we could leave purgatory and move on! … Thank you PBR.

Ashish and Team. Today is the best day ever. I had to do many things to get here. You gave me the tools, and my confidence back. The test taking strategies changed my approach to questions. It was clear, consistent and concise. I approached each question the same way. It took me 10 years to figure out how to take this test. The personalized schedule kept me focused and on task. You helped me overcome my biggest challenge in my career. I passed with a 192. I am finally board certified after 10 years and I now have more options available to me. I can keep my family together. I have conquered my biggest nemesis and it feels great! You are awesome.
