To accommodate the record number of applicants for ABPM’s 2025 certification exam, ABPM is extending the deadline to register for the exam through 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025.
Important Details
- The deadline to withdraw from the exam and receive a refund (less a $500 administrative fee) remains Sept. 26, 2025.
- All approved applicants have a three-year window in which to take the exam, regardless of the pathway through which they applied. For example, if your application was approved in 2025, you may take the exam in 2025, 2026, and/or 2027. You do not need to submit additional documentation to maintain your eligibility during this three-year period.
- You must register for the exam in the year in which you would like to take it. Previous exam registration fee payments cannot be applied toward a future year’s exam registration fee.
