2026 Certifying Exam Bulletin Changes
If you’re preparing for the ABOG Certifying Exam, this is your must-listen episode.
This year, ABOG made a major shift — the traditional, detailed bulletin has been scaled back, and the majority of key information now lives on their website. That means it’s more important than ever to understand the process, timelines, and expectations so nothing falls through the cracks.
In this episode of Certifiable, we break down everything you need to know for the 2026 oral boards, including:
Key application deadlines and exam dates
Fees and what to expect financially
The ins and outs of the case list (and what’s changed)
What the oral exam actually looks like
Common pitfalls that can cost you the exam
And practical strategies to help you walk in confident and prepared
Whether you’re just starting your case list or gearing up for test day, this episode will help you focus on what actually matters.
Because passing this exam isn’t just about knowledge — it’s about preparation, timing, and execution.
You’ve worked too hard to miss something small. Let’s make sure you don’t.
