The American Board of Pathology (ABP) publishes performance data annually following the spring and fall anatomic pathology (AP) and clinical pathology (CP) board examinations. (1) Pass rates are a hotly debated topic among trainees as well as faculty, though discussion is often based on anecdotes as opposed to objective data. I reviewed ABP examination performance data from 2009 to 2019 to better characterize trends in board performance by examinees.
In the past decade, board pass rates have gone up overall though rates have remained similar among first time test takers and repeat test takers (Figures 1 and 2). Simple linear regression analysis showed a positive slope indicating an upward trend for first-time test takers, repeat test takers, and overall test takers; however, this was only significant in the overall test takers group (P =.002 AP; P =.001 CP). Overall pass rates showed the greatest upward trend, followed by first-time test takers, and repeat test takers (data not shown). The number of total test takers based on 2009 versus 2018, the last full year of data available, has decreased in AP from 781 to 664 (15%) and in CP by 791 to 588 (26%), including decreases in first time test takers (in AP by 606 to 578 [5%] and CP 543 to 534 [2%]), and repeat test takers (in AP 175 to 86 [51%] and in CP 248 to 54 [78%]). Likewise, the average pass rates from 2015 to 2019 are generally greater than pass rates from 2009 to 2014 (Table). First time test takers consistently have significantly higher pass rates than repeat test takers (P [less than or equal to]. 001, Mann-Whitney U test). One limitation of this evaluation is ABP data are reported based on individual exams and as such there are no data available for which examinees took both exams; however, the majority of graduating pathology residents, as of 2019, are AP/CP track. (2) Statistics were performed using PRISM 8 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA) and a P...
