ABOG OB/GYN Qualifying Exam study plan

Map the ACOG obstetric content outline into a checklist of subtopics and rate current confidence on each

List the highest-yield antepartum conditions (hypertensive disorders, diabetes, preterm labor, PPROM, fetal growth restriction) and write a one-page summary of diagnostic criteria and initial management for each

Build a spaced-repetition deck covering antepartum screening timelines and routine prenatal lab schedule

Outline intrapartum management: labor curves, dystocia, fetal heart rate interpretation categories, and operative vaginal delivery indications

Summarize postpartum hemorrhage causes and stepwise uterotonic and surgical management from memory, then verify against a reference

Practice interpreting 10 fetal heart rate tracings described in text and assign a category to each

Map the gynecology content outline into a checklist and rate confidence per subtopic

Summarize abnormal uterine bleeding evaluation (PALM-COEIN) and cervical cancer screening and management algorithms

Review contraception options and match each method to absolute contraindications

Summarize evaluation and management of pelvic masses and adnexal torsion, including when surgery is urgent

Outline endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic organ prolapse: diagnosis, first-line and surgical options

Complete 40 mixed gynecology practice questions and log every missed concept

List primary care screening intervals (cervical, breast, colorectal, bone density) and preventive counseling topics relevant to ob/gyn practice

Summarize management of common office presentations: vaginitis, urinary tract infection, abnormal bleeding on contraception, and menopausal symptoms

Review immunization recommendations and sexually transmitted infection screening and treatment regimens

Map subspecialty content across maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology, and urogynecology, then rank by personal weakness

Summarize gynecologic oncology staging basics and referral triggers for endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancer

Outline infertility evaluation timeline and basic assisted reproduction indications, plus urogynecology workup for incontinence

Re-test the lowest-confidence items from the week 1-4 checklists and rewrite any note that still feels shaky

Complete 60 timed mixed obstetrics and gynecology questions and analyze error patterns by subtopic

Drill high-yield numbers: dosing, screening intervals, and gestational age thresholds

Complete 60 timed mixed office-practice and subspecialty questions and analyze error patterns

Re-review every error-log entry from weeks 4-8 and confirm each concept is now solid

Do one full-length timed practice exam under test-day conditions
