A pass/fail decision is used to determine if an applicant can move forward in the certification process. ABPD believes that all applicants who successfully complete the examination should be recognized for their efforts. Therefore, the Pugh Award will be retired following the 2021 QE and no distinction will be given to any applicants based on their examination scores.
