Pediatric Medicine Board Review Questions
Just like you’ll see on the actual exam. Based on the American Board of Pediatrics format.
No “negatively phrased” questions, no “all of the following except”, no “A and B”…you know what we mean. In order for a test question to be high quality, it must satisfy two basic criteria:
- Must address important content
- Must be well structured

A 3-year-old boy, former 28-week preemie, presents with a large firm non-tender abdominal mass. Findings on physical examination reveal pallor, hemihypertrophy and a protruding tongue. A smooth round abdominal mass approximately 6 cm in diameter is palpated on the right upper quadrant of his abdomen. The remainder of the physical examination findings are normal. Initial laboratory values show a white blood cell count of 10,500 with 10% polymorphonuclear leukocytes, 8% lymphocytes, 4% monocytes, and 1% eosinophils. Hemoglobin is 8, mean corpuscular volume 72 and platelets 600. Aspartate aminotransferase is 140 U/L, alanine aminotransferase is 125 U/L, total bilirubin is 6 mg/dL and alpha-fetoprotein is 150,000 mcg/mL. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Our Answer Choices
Building difficulty into the question. Meet the Challenge.
A question’s difficulty is defined by the choice of distractors. Good distractors determine the difficulty level of a question. Therefore, good distractors are one of the most important features of a high quality question.
Understanding why an answer choice is incorrect is just as important as knowing why it is correct
