The APGO Preparation for Ob-Gyn Residency Knowledge Assessment Tool is an interactive, web-based examination to measure the didactic knowledge of incoming ob-gyn interns based on the ACGME Level 1 milestones. Institutions have also been using this Tool for their boot camp/residency preparation. The exam is available to medical schools and residency programs through an annual subscription to the APGO uWISE program.

APGO PrepforRes questions updated December 2024.

Exam features:

• 100 multiple-choice questions have been designed to assess incoming residents’ knowledge in obstetrics, gynecology and office practice.
• Participants have 120 minutes to complete the assessment
• Participants may take the exam as many times as they wish.
• Participants will receive their score immediately following completion of the assessment
• Assessment results are broken down into each sub-competency to reflect potential areas of deficiency, providing residency program directors with a baseline summary of incoming interns’ knowledge levels.
