Six articles will be presented each year with an accompanying quiz consisting of 5-10 questions. You must correctly answer 80% of questions to receive credit, and Diplomates may take each quiz up to three (3) times.
You will receive an email from info@abvp.com notifying you when each article becomes available. Please be sure info@abvp.com is marked as a 'safe sender' in your email client. How do you mark an email address as a 'safe sender' you ask? Check out this article.
Article quizzes will expire 12 months after original posting and will no longer be available for credit after that date.
Once quizzes are answered, you will receive your results immediately on the screen. 80% or better is passing. YOU NEED TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR SCORE. The system does NOT automatically mark you as passed. You need to MANUALLY upload your passing grade. How do you take a screenshot? Learn how here.
