ABTS Practice Test with Latest Exam Questions 2026

The ABTS Congenital Cardiac Surgery Part I exam is the written qualifying exam for thoracic surgeons pursuing subspecialty certification in congenital heart surgery. It covers congenital heart anatomy and physiology, diagnosis, surgical repair techniques, perioperative care, mechanical support and outcomes.

Because Congenital Cardiac Surgery (CHS) - Part I is used by employers, boards and credentialing bodies as evidence of competence, preparation deserves a structured plan. Most questions are written as short clinical scenarios, so understanding why an answer is correct matters more than memorizing lists.

The topic areas are broad, so it helps to look inside them. The Anatomy and Physiology area includes congenital lesions and shunts. Questions on Diagnosis typically involve echocardiography and catheterization. Surgical Management covers repairs and palliations. Within Perioperative Care, candidates should be comfortable with ICU management and complications.

Part I is a written multiple choice exam. Review the anatomy and repair strategies for common and complex lesions, and practice scenario questions.

American Board of Thoracic Surgery publishes the official format for ABTS, including how many questions are asked, how long you have and what score is needed to pass. Use those figures to set up timed practice that mirrors the format, and aim to finish practice tests with some time to spare.

For ABTS, a simple schedule built on the outline avoids gaps. Allow roughly 6 weeks, giving each major area its own block: begin with Anatomy and Physiology, continue with Diagnosis, Surgical Management and Perioperative Care, and finish with Mechanical Support; and Outcomes and Quality. Keep a one page summary for each area with key terms, steps and examples, and review these summaries every few days. Before booking, make sure your practice scores are steady across every section rather than strong in only one or two.

Questions on ABTS are often long clinical vignettes. Practice reading the last line of the question first, then scanning the case for the details that matter. This habit saves time and reduces the chance of being distracted by irrelevant information.
