Customized Assessment Services Fees

NBME pricing for Customized Assessment Services is shown below. It provides the flexibility to create and administer any number of customized examinations during a 12-month subscription period.

Fees can either be paid quarterly (for standard pricing) or prepaid (for discount pricing) and must be received by the NBME prior to the first test administration.

$1,500 Annual Subscription Fee

This fee must be paid in advance and includes:

    • Program set-up
    • Support for test construction and test administration activities
    • Construction of all examinations for students across Year 1 and Year 2 of the preclinical curriculum
    • Score reports, individual student performance profiles, and item analyses for each examination


Examination Fees

Fees are based on examinations requested on a single order. This fee will be based on the larger class size if more than two exams are requested for administration across Year 1 and Year 2.
