ABEM offers a short computer-delivered testing experience in Pearson VUE
testing centers.  This offering is designed for candidates who have not
previously taken an examination in a testing center.  Physicians will have
an opportunity to see how an actual ABEM examination is formatted on the
computer, practice navigating a computer-based demonstration examination,
and experience the same security procedures and opening and closing activities
of an actual ABEM examination.

To allow candidates to practice navigating a computer-based examination, ABEM
provides a 20-25 question demonstration test that candidates can take during the
computer-delivered testing experience.  The demonstration test is not designed to
assist candidates in preparing for the content of an actual ABEM examination.  The
demonstration test will not be scored, and the questions do not represent the
examination content, subject matter, or level of difficulty of an actual ABEM
examination.

Diplomates may register for the demonstation test through their EMCC Online
Personal Page.  Follow the instructions given at the end of registration to contact 
Pearson VUE to schedule an appointment to take the demonstration test.

Please be aware that a free tutorial that simulates the experience of navigating
through a general computerized test is available for free download to your own
computer from the testing company's website (http://www.vue.com/sponsors/tutorial),
and the examination itself will also include a tutorial for taking the examination prior
to beginning the actual examination.
