After approval, if the candidate experiences an event that prevents sitting for the Certifying Examination, ABOG should be notified immediately. If the review committee agrees that the request is due to circumstances beyond the control of the candidate, the examination portion of the fee may either be refunded or alternatively, the candidate may have the full fee applied to the following examination year.
The results of the Certifying Examination will be reported online to each candidate no later than six weeks following their examination.
