If you’re planning on taking the MOCA-Peds exam for your Part 3 requirements for MOC, have you considered how you’ll prepare for your MOCA-Peds questions?
Fortunately for you, the MOCA-Peds exam is open-book. So, you might feel like you can go into the exam without too much prep work. BUT! There’s a big but: you only get 5 minutes to answer each question. So, flipping your screen to UpToDate or any other web-based reference will be time-consuming and stressful in the exam environment.Since the MOCA-Peds exam released in 2017, we've tested a few variations of recommended study tools and prep procedures. Based on feedback from peds practitioners who've taken the exam, we think we've landed on the perfect combination for this year's MOCA-Peds.
We’re taking a two-pronged approach to how we recommend you should study: First, prepare for the exam with board-style Q&As and audio talks based on the ABP’s learning objectives and featured readings for MOCA-Peds. Then, take a quick reference guide into the exam, and keep it next to you while you are testing. Making the reference tangible is important—you won’t want to be flipping back and forth between internet windows while you’re crunched for time while answering your MOCA-Peds questions.

Now you can filter down to MOCA-Peds Q&As in our peds qbank.

With our news MOCA-Peds filter, you can easily prepare for the quarterly exam with 500+ questions (with answers and explanations, of course!) in a separate section of our 2,000-question Qbank.
The questions we gathered are based on the ABP’s 45 learning objectives and featured readings for 2023, and they’ll help you prepare for your Part 3 MOC requirements if you’re taking the quarterly assessment.

Tips for taking the MOCA-Peds
What is MOCA-Peds?
Need a refresher on MOCA-Peds? In 2017, the ABP came out with a new way to fulfill the MOC Part 3 (exam) requirement: the Maintenance of Certification Assessment for Pediatrics, or MOCA-Peds.
MOCA-Peds is an online, non-proctored assessment platform offered as an option for your Part 3 MOC requirement. You answer 20 questions per quarter, wherever you like, whenever you like. Once you submit your answer for each question, you’re told whether you got it right or wrong. Plus, you get the rationale behind the correct answer and references to support it. You’ll also have access to previously-answered questions.
The questions are based on 45 learning objectives, outlined by the ABP to reflect the breadth of knowledge required for practice.
General Pediatrics practitioners were approved to take the MOCA-Peds exam in 2019. Here’s a quick overview of when the rest of the peds subspecialties will have this testing option available:
