ABFM In-Training Exam Online Critique

• Residents can review the In-Training Exam by accessing the critique on the ABFM Website.  Log into the Physician Login and click on the link to In-Training Exam Critiques.  Contact Justin if you don’t know your ABFM ID number.  To target the questions you answered incorrectly, see the packet of materials that came with your In-Training Exam score – the Item Performance Reports highlight questions answered incorrectly in red.  Justin also sent you the exam document and the critique.
