After the examination is processed, an initial evaluation is made to identify
questions that did not perform within certain parameters. These questions, along
with others that were queried at the time of the examination, are reviewed to
determine whether they should be excluded from the final determination of
pass/fail. This is done according to predetermined psychometric criteria.
Letters sent to the candidates indicating success or failure are mailed 4 to 6
weeks after the final week of examinations. A computer printout is included for
unsuccessful candidates,
giving information in regard to performance on the examination. All sessions of the
examination will be treated as one for marking and evaluation purposes. All ABP examination questions
are copyrighted. Any violation of this copyright will be legally pursued.
The ABP will not release examination results by telephone, facsimile, or e-mail.
