This gauges your preparedness to take the pediatric board exam. The pediatric ITE allows you to see how you\u2019re doing compared to national peer groups, so it can be an invaluable tool to tailor and guide your studying as a resident. Furthermore, it helps program directors identify where there\u2019s room for growth, and how they can lend extra support, guidance, and mentorship when you need it.&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-this-guide-we-ll-break-down-what-you-need-to-know-for-the-pediatric-ite-including-what-it-is-why-it-matters-and-how-to-prepare-for-it-nbsp\">In this guide, we\u2019ll break down what you need to know for the pediatric ITE, including what it is, why it matters, and how to prepare for it!&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-pediatric-in-training-exam-nbsp\"><strong>What is the pediatric in-training exam?<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the American Board of Pediatrics (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abp.org\/content\/general-pediatrics-training-examination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ABP<\/a>), the pediatric in-training exam is a three-hour exam consisting of 150 multiple-choice questions that\u2019s administered in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The exam is designed as an abbreviated version of the General Pediatrics Certifying Examination and is based on the same <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abp.org\/content\/general-pediatrics-content-outline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>content outline<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> It\u2019s an incredibly useful tool, as you can use it to track your progress and target areas that need improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-should-i-take-the-pediatric-in-training-exam-seriously-nbsp\"><strong>Why should I take the pediatric in-training exam seriously?<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s tempting to think the exam is just practice and isn\u2019t that important, <strong>I would caution against that mindset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three reasons you should take the exam seriously:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-it-helps-you-identify-your-strengths-and-weaknesses-early-on-nbsp\"><strong>1. It helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses early on.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>By identifying weak subjects, you can tailor your studying as a resident early on. <strong>You can see where you need help and utilize additional resources, such as question banks, to boost your knowledge and get a better score <\/strong>the next time you take it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-you-can-track-your-progress-and-seek-additional-support-as-needed-nbsp\"><strong>2. You can track your progress and seek additional support as needed.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Each year, you can compare your performance on the pediatric in-training exam with residents nationwide.<\/strong> It can be a useful tool to gauge your progress as a resident. You can then determine the type and level of support you need to be ready for the boards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-it-s-valuable-practice-for-the-pediatric-board-exam-nbsp\"><strong>3. It\u2019s valuable practice for the pediatric board exam.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By taking the pediatric in-training exam under test-like conditions, you can determine if you have any issues with test anxiety, timing, or test-taking skills, and seek support early on. <\/strong>You may be able to work closely with a residency mentor or even a tutor. If you identify any weaknesses, receiving extra support early can help you pass the notoriously difficult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/blog\/how-to-study-for-pediatric-boards-in-2025\/\">pediatric board exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-should-i-prepare-for-the-pediatric-in-training-exam-nbsp\"><strong>How should I prepare for the pediatric in-training exam?<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s review some tips to help you prepare for the in-training exam. In the end, you need to do what works for you, but I recommend the following:<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-start-early-and-study-daily-nbsp\"><strong>1. Start early and study daily.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s <strong>incredibly important to start studying for the ITE at the beginning of your intern year.<\/strong> Making studying a habit is instrumental to the expansion of your knowledge base. And there are many ways to do it. Listening to podcasts on the way to work or reading UpToDate articles on your patients can really add up over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, staying up-to-date on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatricsinreview?autologincheck=redirected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pediatrics in Review<\/a>\u201d<em> <\/em>articles can help build your knowledge. (Pro tip: Many people believe that some content on the pediatrics board exam is derived from Pediatrics in Review<em> <\/em>articles published in the last three years!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-utilize-question-banks\"><strong>2. Utilize question banks.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The more practice questions, the better.<\/strong> Given the enormity and volume of material you\u2019ll have to know for the boards, doing practice questions is just a good habit to get into.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d recommend utilizing study tools that can be accessed on your phone, so you can incorporate studying during lulls in your day as a resident, or during lunch. Some great options include Anki for flashcards, or <strong>Rosh Review for <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/pediatrics-general\/\"><strong>pediatric practice questions<\/strong><\/a><strong> with detailed explanations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet the (Free!)
