I am taking my recerts this year and was wondering if any one has any thoughts on how difficult/easy the exams are, particularly for sub specialists.
Answer:
As you probably know, the ABIM has a multipronged path to recertification, and I assume you're talking about the proctored exam. Most people (even subspecialists) pass it. Of course they only tell you what the pass rate is for any given exam AFTER you take it (you'll get that info with your exam score), but in general %26gt;85% sail on through. It may or may not give you confidence, but remember that the quoted pass rates are brought down by repeat takers with at least one failed exam under their belts. They tend to do worse, so the effective pass rate for all the others is extremely high - I'm guessing in the neighborhood of 95%.
