Anesthesia Question Banks
ABA BASIC, ITE & Advanced Exam Prep
Trusted by Anesthesiology residents and programs nationwide.
I’m a resident and have found the banks invaluable for the BASIC exam and ITE, using them as my main study resource. I felt very comfortable taking the basic and scored > 90th percentile on my CA1 ITE. I feel confident in using TrueLearn to master even more of the material for my remaining ITEs.

This success is a strong testament to the TrueLearn team’s capabilities especially considering the atypical short timeframe our program was working on.
Matthew, Program Coordinator AnesthesiologyTrueLearn is indeed the holy grail of all the resource materials I used for my ABA In-Training exam prep. Doing the questions are great, but the real sauce is in the detailed explanation that follow each questions. I was able to fully invest in this material, and I got a perfect ITE score this year.

Anesthesiology Exam Frequently Asked Questions
Does your ITE score matter?
It technically doesn’t, but you should still try to do well. Along with your ITE score, you will receive data on your performance in each category showing you where your knowledge is stronger and where you need to improve, which is invaluable for your anesthesia board study plan.
How many times can you take anesthesia boards?
You can take the ABA BASIC exam as many times as you need to pass. However, if you are unsuccessful after your third attempt, the ABA requires you to complete 6 more months of training. After a 4th failed attempt, you will be required to complete an additional 12 months of training. (Note, each institution may have their own policies, and continuation of residency training is always at the discretion of the training program.) [Source]
Candidates must pass the BASIC exam prior to taking the ADVANCED exam. The ABA does not state a limit on how many times the ADVANCED exam can be taken; however, the candidate must satisfy all requirements for certification (BASIC, ADVANCED, and APPLIED exams) within seven years of the last day of the year in which residency training was completed.
How hard is the anesthesiology board exam?
The ABA exams are designed to be challenging to ensure that only qualified individuals are certified to practice anesthesiology. It tests your knowledge and understanding of a wide range of subjects related to the practice of anesthesiology. That’s why it’s important to prepare with a question bank mapped to the exam blueprint.
What happens if you fail your anesthesia boards?
In the event of a failing score on the ABA BASIC or ADVANCED exam, you can reapply to take the exam six months later. Prepare well for your second attempt because you don’t want to fail a second time.
You’ll want to review your performance on the exam and identify areas for improvement. TrueLearn subscribers who purchased an ABA BASIC or ADVANCED SmartBank for 90 days or more can redeem their Pass Guarantee. We will provide a complimentary subscription equal in length to the subscription you originally purchased to help you prepare for your next attempt.
