Neurology Continuing Certification Board Review

Is Beat The Boards! different from other board reviews?

Yes, in three main ways:

1. Beat The Boards! board review is the most comprehensive option. More than just a Question Bank of practice questions, each course includes in-depth lectures in a familiar classroom setting presented by expert faculty. This means you get a topic-by-topic review of exactly what’s on the board exam in much greater detail than what you can get from QBank answer explanations.

2. Because the physician’s schedule is typically a hectic one, Beat The Boards! is optimized for on-the-go review. Components such as the audio-only lecture option, iOS and Andriod app for mobile review, and offline access capability, and a fully-illustrated board-mapped study guide make Beat The Boards! review easy to incorporate at any point in your daily routine.

3. The Triple Trust Guarantee not only gives you a full tuition* refund if you don’t pass the exam the first time after taking the course, but it also gives you an extra 10% AND allows you continued access until you pass, for free. This unprecedented guarantee serves to assure you of the confidence we have that Beat The Boards! content is exceptional.

*Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.

Who produces Beat The Boards! Courses? Where do you get your faculty?

Beat The Boards! board review courses are produced by American Physician Institute for Advanced Professional Studies, LLC (API). API conducts dozens of courses and trains thousands of neurologists each year to pass their boards and stay up to date in their fields.

Do you provide board review for other medical specialties?

Is it likely that my employer will cover my tuition?

Because all Beat The Boards! courses are approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, it is likely that your tuition will be reimbursed. You may be surprised at how many residency and fellowship training programs, group practices, and other employers pay for or reimburse you for such Category 1 educational activities. After all, it’s in everyone’s best interests to have you board certified. It really pays to ask your training director, medical director or administrator if you are eligible because some training programs and employers do pay for board exam training.

Board Exam Results and The Triple Trust Guarantee

Is Beat The Boards! Neurology Continuing Certification review pass-guaranteed?

Yes, all full courses are pass-guaranteed, and backed by our Triple Trust Guarantee. At any time, you can view the Triple Trust Guarantee Terms & Conditions.

What does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover?

If you purchase a course with a “Triple Trust Guarantee” and then do not pass your board exam for which the course was intended, API will issue a 100% refund of your paid tuition*, plus an additional 10%, plus free subscription renewal. The guarantee expires in the event the exam for which this course is designed is no longer offered by the certifying board.

*  Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.

The Triple Trust Guarantee sounds too good to be true—is it for real?

Yes, it’s completely real. Rest assured, API has always honored its guarantees and always will. The Triple Trust Guarantee is API’s way of demonstrating that it’s just as invested in your success as you are. After all, if you fail your board exam, API will pay a penalty. API will refund your course tuition in full, provide you with a bonus, and provide free subscription renewal. The guarantee ensures API doesn’t get paid for effort, only for passing results.

Does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover non-tuition course options and upgrades?

No. Course options and upgrades are non-tuition related. Therefore, these fees are not included in any guarantee-related refund payment made under the terms of the Triple Trust Guarantee.

What should I do if I don’t pass my board exam?

First, it’s important to remember that a non-passing result is not necessarily a reflection on your abilities as a neurologist. The way the ABPN tests you is not the same as the many ways you’re “tested” as a practicing neurologist. Check out this reassuring video from Dr. Jack - What To Do If You Fail Your Board Exam https://www.beattheboards.com/video-what-to-do-fail-your-board-exam/

More to the point, American Physician Institute can work with you to help you get over this professional hurdle. Give us a call!

“Just wanted to let you folks know that I received my results for the MOC/Neurology. I am happy to inform you that I passed, thanks to the succinct and thorough study material provided in your course. I opted for the self-study course, which allowed me to move at my own pace. The complementary question/answer section not only clued you in to exam mode but also highlighted pertinent points worth committing to memory. Furthermore, given the constraints of time, I used your course exclusively for my exam preparation. I found the course material not only more than adequate for the examination but also thoroughly covered every topic we were expected to know for the examination. I would recommend your course to anyone without reservation. I would also go so far as to say that if the candidate covers your study material thoroughly he or she could present to the examination knowing that they will pass without question.”

John Stamoulis, MD, Fairhaven, MA

“I had three weeks to study for my recert boards. Unfortunately, I had a house fire and the board had the wrong address. In a panic, I ordered your course material I had no trouble passing my recert boards. It was well worth the time and money!”

“Now you can check me off as having passed. There is NO QUESTION that the course helped me. I will be 67 years old in 9 days. I will not have to do this again until I am 76. If there is anyone who vacillates about taking your course, let them call me.”
