“Excellent test preparation for Child Psychiatry Boards and MOC! Many relevant questions with thorough explanations. The interface allows you to customize a practice exam which mimics the real thing! Highly recommended. I plan to use BoardVitals for future re-certification in Adult and Child Psychiatry. ”

The BoardVitals Child Psychiatry Question Bank follows the content outlined in the ABPN Certification Exam in CAP Content Blueprint.

What is the format of the ABPN Certification Exam in CAP?

The exam consists of 280 multiple-choice questions (MCQ) in two formats: stand-alone and vignette.

Stand-alone

Stand-alone questions are single best answer MCQ’s that are not associated with any other questions. These questions can be flagged for review or skipped. However, candidates cannot review questions in a section that has been completed.

Vignette

Vignette questions are typically two to five MCQ's linked to a common case that may be presented in either a short video clip (30 seconds to 3 minutes), or in text. Vignette questions must be answered in order to advance to the next question. Therefore, candidates can not skip vignette questions or review vignette questions after they have been completely answered.

It is recommended that candidates familiarize themselves with the examination functions by reviewing Samples Screens provided by the ABPN.

The pass rate for the Certification Exam in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry was 90% for first-time takers in 2021.
