Odyssey's Pass Rate Data
for the General Surgery Oral Boards
92.2% pass rate based on 95.8% followup rate
> is the pass rate for the next exam the candidate takes after her/his Odyssey prep
> is statistically significant (p < 0.001) compared to baseline pass rates on the exam
> remains statistically significant even if one assumes that the 5.8% of candidates with unknown results are considered to have failed (a highly unlikely possibility.)
> is based on nearly 7 full years of data, 2000-2006, inclusive, n=~718.
> reflects all candidates, including those with prior exam attempts before they worked with Odyssey (Candidates with prior attempts who do not prepare with Odyssey have a lower pass rate the next time they take the exam compared to candidates who have never taken the exam before. Candidates with prior experience who then work with Odyssey before their next attempt effectively neutralize the negative effects of their prior attempts. By including all candidates in calculating the pass rate, the data is not being skewed by looking only at a selected group of candidates.)
99+% final pass rate
> this is the ultimate pass rate for all candidates who have prepared with Odyssey, including those who initially failed after their Odyssey course
> is based on 92.1% followup from course participants (as of mid 2006.)
99+% of Odyssey candidates rate their board prep as excellent or superior
