How is the ReASCE different from the ASCeXAM?

The NBE has developed a Recertification Examination that is similar in format to the Examination of Special Competence in Adult Echocardiography (ASCeXAM) but designed specifically for those who have previously passed the ASCeXAM. The case oriented section will be the same as the ASCeXAM, however the multiple choice sections are designed specifically for those who have previously passed the ASCeXAM and will be comprised of fewer questions. The Recertification examination has one case oriented block that is identical to the ASCeXAM. Additionally, the ReASCE has two multiple choice blocks while the ASCeXAM has 3 multiple choice blocks.
