The Self-Assessment Exams (SAE) test your ability to apply the information on a certain topic that you have studied. While CME exams mainly test that you looked at the topic, self-assessment exams will indicate your level of mastery of the topic. Therefore, self-assessment exams are much more difficult, so don't be discouraged if you initially score lower than you expected to score. You will be tested on your mastery of pattern recognition, application of basic concepts, ability to discriminate between mild, moderate, and severe disease, recall of basic facts, and formulation of a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Self-Assessment Exams are available for eTEE chapters 1-6 currently. We do plan on adding more but they take a lot of time to create.
Good luck in taking the Self-Assessment Exams!
