ESP Pathology Progress Test
to launch on International Pathology Day, 12 November 2025
The ESP Pathology Progress Test (PPT) is a self-assessment tool, valuable for the preparation of residents for their board examination. It consists of 120 multiple choice questions, covering most Pathology subspecialties.
While primarily designed for residents, the ESP PPT is available to all pathologists wishing to test their knowledge in Pathology.
The results of the ESP PPT are confidential.
ESP PPT 2025 is scheduled to launch on International Pathology Day, Wednesday, 12 November 2025 and will be available for at least 3 weeks.
From 12 November to 7 December 2025, all pathologists, especially trainees, are invited to take the ESP Pathology Progress Test (PPT). The test, consisting of 120 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), includes text-based, image-based, and virtual slide-based questions. It is designed for trainees nearing the end of their residency, covering diagnostic pathology, molecular pathology, and disease mechanisms.
Participants will receive their scores immediately after completing the test. The PPT is for self-assessment only, with anonymous results. It is recommended to complete the test in one session (approximately 3 hours), but it could be taken in stages.
