How to Schedule
Schedule Your Exam
- Be sure exam registration is complete before scheduling. Residency directors register residents for the In-training Exams.
- Make sure you have completed your PRR personal profile, otherwise, you will not be able to register.
- Sign-in to your ABFAS profile.
- Click on the green button, "SCHEDULE/VIEW EXAM WITH PEARSON VUE" button on the left side of your profile screen to go to the Pearson VUE site.
- On the Pearson VUE site you may schedule the exams shown under Pre-Approved exams.
First and Second-Year Residents: We strongly encourage you to take your didactic ITEs online to make more testing center space available for the CBPS exams.
Scheduling Tips
- Schedule immediately after you receive the scheduling email from ABFAS. Confirm you have updated your PRR profile. Many test centers become fully booked within days of the ABFAS registration opening.
- Select the examination you wish to schedule first. You can add more exams using the consecutive appointment feature on the second page.
- Don’t see your exams on the Pearson VUE site? Confirm you are registered for an exam and your PRR profile is complete.
