Preparing for Board Exams? 

The GLOBE consists of 100 high-quality, newly-published, board-style questions, covering all orthopaedic subspecialties. The GLOBE has been carefully blueprinted to match board exams from around the world. The exam targets recent trending tested concepts identified on recent examinations such as the AAOS OITE and AAOS Self-Assessment Exams.
  • Ace Your Board Exam
    Perform on exam day by building your testing endurance & focus with our 100-question, 2.5-hour, continuous mock exam.
  • Learn Faster with Anconeus AI
    Use the GLOBE to diagnose your strengths & weaknesses to calibrate your personalized algorithm and learn dramatically faster.
  • Improve Resident Wellness
    Add an additional formal medical knowledge assessment point to decrease the emphasis, and stress, of one annual exam such as the OITE. Use the GLOBE as an additional formal assessment points to ensure everyone excels.

How Will The GLOBE Help You
While Orthobullets is not a big fan of long board examinations, they remain a reality in medical education. Therefore, we created the GLOBE as a benchmarking tool to help diagnose your strengths and weaknesses compared to residents around the world. The 100-question exam is a unique opportunity for you to build your examination endurance, a critical skill to perform well on medical board examinations. 
How We Generate The Curve
Our benchmark exam curve and PGY% Rank score are generated from first-time, timed exam takers from  ~220 US orthopaedic residency programs. Our proprietary data and methodology allow us to generate a PGY% Rank that is predictive and correlates with AAOS OITE PGY% Rank Scores.

How We Create Our Questions
The questions on the exam are not available in our free or premium Qbank to ensure an "even playing field" for all exam takers. To ensure the highest quality, all questions undergo a rigorous, multi-level peer review process by orthopaedic surgeons. Our exam questions are evaluated with algorithmic Item Response Theory (IRT) to ensure they are sensitive and specific for true medical knowledge. See our exam blueprint below to see how our exam compares to others around the world.
