Both participant feedback and item performance are evaluated routinely for each Pediatric Updates module, and all comments are carefully considered. Unless overall item performance statistics or editorial analysis indicate a problem on a particular item(s), it is not possible to give credit for disputed answers.

As Pediatric Updates test items are not pre-tested, adjustments in both the question and answer portions of test items may need to be made. Statistics of the answers will be reviewed and questions adjusted accordingly. Participants will be notified if their particular module requires adjustments.
