More than 25 years ago, the ABFM became the first American Board of Medical Specialties board to introduce criterion-based methodology to establish the passing threshold for its examination.

In other words, all candidates taking the examination could theoretically pass if they met or exceeded the criterion-referenced passing score. Furthermore, the examination is equated across forms and administrations, meaning candidates are not advantaged or disadvantaged by having received a particular version of the examination or by taking it at a particular time of the year.
