Candidate registration and orientation will be held the same day as the candidate’s exam. Candidates will be required to show a photo ID at time of registration. Candidates must arrive and depart the testing center by ABP-provided transportation.
Candidates should plan to arrive the day before their scheduled exam. The ABP contracts a block of hotel rooms for candidates at a nearby hotel and provides transportation to and from the exam facility.
The ABP will attempt to administer the Oral Examination as scheduled each year. Should the ABP cancel the Oral Examination or be prevented from appropriately administering the examination at the appointed time and location, the ABP will not be responsible for any expense of the candidate in connection with the Oral Examination and any substitute Oral Examination.
