(2) Because the performance of small numbers of examinees can have a significant effect on results, pass rates for examinations with less than 200

takers should be interpreted cautiously. Pass rates for examinations with less than 10 takers are not reported (indicated with "*"). (3) Examinations that are not administered in a specific year are indicated with "--" . (4) For information on exam administration history, please visit our website at:

history.aspx (5) Includes ABIM, qualifying, and co-sponsoring board(s) candidates. (6) Includes ABIM co-sponsoring board(s) candidates. (7) Includes only ABIM candidates. (8) In light of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on physicians, in 2020, ABIM extended Board Eligibility to 2021 for physicians opting not to test in

2020. The number of examinees and pass rates for 2020 and 2021 may not be perfectly comparable to prior years as a result.
