Sample EBP-EAP Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your EBP-EAP exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A paediatric trainee asks what the EBP-EAP Examination is intended to assess. Which statement is most accurate?
A.It is a national specialist exit examination that automatically grants recognition as a consultant paediatrician in every European country.
B.It is an online examination from the European Academy of Paediatrics and European Board of Paediatrics assessing basic paediatric knowledge aligned with the European Paediatric Training curriculum.
C.It is a practical clinical skills examination used mainly to assess procedural competence in neonatal intensive care.
D.It is a language-proficiency test required before applying to any European paediatric training programme.
Explanation: The EBP-EAP Examination is an online knowledge examination by the European Academy of Paediatrics and European Board of Paediatrics. It assesses basic paediatric knowledge aligned with the European Paediatric Training curriculum; it is not a national specialist exit or licensing examination.
2A candidate reads that the EBP-EAP Examination is linked with CESMA and UEMS. What is the best interpretation of this information?
A.It means the exam was developed only for emergency medicine trainees.
B.It means the exam is a locally administered hospital assessment without external quality oversight.
C.It means the pass mark is fixed permanently at 70% for all sittings.
D.It reflects development and accreditation with UEMS/CESMA quality-assurance processes for European specialist medical assessments.
Explanation: CESMA is the Council for European Specialist Medical Assessment within UEMS. The EBP-EAP Examination is CESMA accredited and developed with UEMS/CESMA processes, but that does not make the pass mark fixed across sittings.
3A doctor has completed 32 months of recognised paediatric training and plans to apply for the EBP-EAP Examination. Which application documentation set is most appropriate?
A.Medical degree, proof of identity, and a trainee attestation or equivalent evidence such as a paediatric diploma or employer letter.
B.Passport photograph only, because training status is checked after the examination.
C.National prescribing licence, logbook of every clinical procedure, and evidence of first-author publications.
D.Proof of completion of specialist training, because trainees are not eligible to sit the examination.
Explanation: Eligible candidates include trainees with about 30-36 months of paediatric training and qualified paediatricians or GPs working with children. Required documents include a medical degree, identity document, and evidence of trainee or paediatric professional status.
4During preparation, a candidate wants to simulate the EBP-EAP Examination format. Which practice session best matches the official format?
A.60 true-or-false questions in 90 minutes with negative marking for wrong answers.
B.100 short-answer questions in 3 hours with partial credit for written explanations.
C.120 Best-of-Five multiple-choice questions in 2 hours 30 minutes, with one point for each correct single best answer and no negative marking.
D.150 image-based questions in 4 hours, scored only if every question is attempted.
Explanation: The exam format is 120 Best-of-Five multiple-choice questions over 2 hours 30 minutes. Each question has one single best answer, correct answers score one point, and there is no negative marking.
5A candidate asks why the pass mark from a previous EBP-EAP sitting should not be treated as a guaranteed pass mark for the next sitting. Which answer is best?
A.The pass mark is chosen randomly after candidates receive their scores.
B.The pass mark is always exactly 50% because there is no negative marking.
C.The pass mark varies by sitting and is set using Angoff-style standard setting and statistical review, often falling around 60-70%.
D.The pass mark is determined only by the number of candidates from each country.
Explanation: The EBP-EAP pass mark is not fixed. It is set for each sitting using standard-setting methods such as Angoff-style review and statistical analysis; typical pass marks are around 60-70%, but candidates should not assume a fixed threshold.
6A doctor passes the EBP-EAP Examination and asks what this result automatically guarantees. Which response is most accurate?
A.It confirms successful performance in the EBP-EAP knowledge examination but does not by itself guarantee national recognition, training admission, or completion of training.
B.It automatically grants admission to paediatric specialist training in all European countries.
C.It automatically replaces all national licensing and specialist recognition requirements.
D.It proves competence in every paediatric procedure required for independent specialist practice.
Explanation: Passing the EBP-EAP Examination documents performance in that knowledge assessment. It is not a completion-of-training examination and does not automatically confer national recognition, licensing, or entry into training.
7A candidate is registered for the 2026 EBP-EAP sitting. Which statement about the sitting and examination conduct is correct?
A.The 2026 sitting is scheduled for 17 November 2026 and permits open-book use of paediatric formularies because it is online.
B.The 2026 sitting is scheduled for 17 December 2026 and is held only in designated university lecture theatres.
C.The 2026 sitting is scheduled for 17 November 2026 and candidates may discuss recalled question content after the exam if no screenshots are shared.
D.The 2026 sitting is scheduled for 17 November 2026, is delivered online with proctoring, and candidates must not use reference materials or other devices.
Explanation: The 2026 sitting is scheduled for 17 November 2026. The exam is online and proctored; reference materials, additional devices, and sharing confidential content are not permitted.
8A term newborn is delivered after an uncomplicated pregnancy. After drying, warming, positioning the airway, and gentle stimulation, the baby remains apnoeic and the heart rate is 80/min. What is the single best next step?
A.Start chest compressions immediately.
B.Begin effective positive-pressure ventilation.
C.Administer intravenous adrenaline.
D.Observe for another 5 minutes because the heart rate is above 60/min.
Explanation: A newborn who is apnoeic or gasping after initial steps, especially with a heart rate below 100/min, needs effective positive-pressure ventilation. Chest compressions are considered if the heart rate remains below 60/min despite adequate ventilation.
9A vigorous term infant is born in a delivery room. The baby is breathing well and has good tone. Which immediate care plan best prevents avoidable early neonatal morbidity?
A.Bathe the infant immediately to reduce infection risk, then transfer to the nursery for observation.
B.Dry the infant, remove wet linen, place skin-to-skin with the mother, cover the baby, and support early breastfeeding.
C.Separate the infant for routine oxygen administration for 30 minutes.
D.Delay drying until the first full newborn examination is completed.
Explanation: For a well term newborn, immediate drying, thermal protection, skin-to-skin contact, and early breastfeeding support are core elements of essential newborn care. Immediate bathing and unnecessary separation increase risks such as hypothermia and disrupted feeding.
10A 14-hour-old term baby is noted to be visibly jaundiced. The baby is feeding but appears sleepy. What is the most appropriate response?
A.Reassure the parents that jaundice before 24 hours is physiological.
B.Advise sunlight exposure at home and review at the routine 6-week check.
C.Stop breastfeeding because breast milk jaundice is the usual cause at this age.
D.Measure bilirubin urgently and assess for pathological causes such as haemolysis or infection.
Explanation: Visible jaundice in the first 24 hours is pathological until proven otherwise. The infant needs prompt bilirubin measurement and clinical assessment for causes such as haemolysis, infection, bruising, or other neonatal disease.

EBP-EAP Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practise single-best-answer decisions from short paediatric vignettes; the official exam uses Best-of-Five MCQs rather than true/false stems.
2Use the European core paediatrics curriculum as the organising frame: neonates, development, respiratory, infection, emergency, endocrine, renal, GI, neurology, public health, and safeguarding.
3Prioritise safety-critical first steps: sepsis recognition, dehydration severity, DKA fluids and insulin timing, anaphylaxis adrenaline, neonatal red flags, and safeguarding escalation.
4Remember the exam's limits: it is evidence of theoretical knowledge, not a national licence, job guarantee, or completion-of-training decision.
5Simulate timing at about 75 seconds per question, since 120 questions are tested over 150 minutes.
