A Brief Review of
Participation in
MOCA-Peds in 2019
In 2019, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) launched the Maintenance of Certification Assessment for
Pediatrics (MOCA-Peds). MOCA-Peds is an online, non-proctored longitudinal assessment of pediatric medical
knowledge developed as an alternative to the proctored exam given in a secure testing center. Starting in 2019,
participation in MOCA-Peds during one's Maintenance of Certification (MOC) cycle satisfies the cognitive exam
requirement (Part 3) and grants Self-Assessment Credit (Part 2) to those meeting the passing standard.

What is the passing score on any version of the examination? Whereas each form of the examination will have an independently set raw score, each raw passing score is transformed to a scaled passing score of 75.Therefore, a scaled score of 75 will be the passing score on any version of the examination.
