General and Colon-Rectal Surgery Oral Board Prep
Odyssey's Pass Rate Data
for the General Surgery Oral Boards
91.6% pass rate 95.5% followup
n=724
p<0.001
99+% of Odyssey candidates rate their preparation as excellent or superior
91.6% 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 4.5% of candidates with unknown results are considered to have failed (a highly unlikely possibility.)
n=724 includes 7 years of data through 2006 (statistical significance of p<0.001 was achieved at n=423.)
reflects all candidates, including those with prior exam attemptsbefore 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.)
