• Question: Why is there occasionally only 4 answer choices where orthobullets always has 5 answer choices?
  • Answer: AAOS SAE exams often only have 4 answer selections. We have decided that the pros of updating the format to be consistent with the format of the orthobullets questions do not outweigh the cons. Residents in our focus groups have made it clear that they prefer if the AAOS SAE Questions stay in their original format.

• Question: How do I tell if I am looking at an AAOS SAE or orthobullets questions?
  • Answer: When in review mode on exams, or looking under topics, you can distinguish AAOS SAE questions from orthobullets questions with the question identifier. If it says (SAE13BS.62), then you know it is a AAOS SAE Question. If it says (OBQ06.62)  or (SBQ06.62) then you know it is an orthobullets question. When in testing mode, you will not be able to tell the difference between AAOS SAE Questions and orthobullets questions (aside from when a question only has 4 answers you will know it is an AAOS SAE Questions).
    
    
• Question: What if I only want to do the questions from on AAOS SAE Exam, for example 2010 Pediatrics?
  • Answer: The AAOS SAE Questions on orthobullets are organized using the orthobullets exam system. Therefore, to take one exam simply sort by specialty and year. For instance, to only take the questions on the 2010 Pediatric AAOS SAE exam, then sort by Type = AAOS SAE Questions, Year = 2010, Specialty = Pediatrics.
