2008 Customized Assessment Services Fees

The NBME has modified its pricing for Customized Assessment Services. The model outlined below 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.

Contact the NBME at customtest@nbme.org to request a subscription.

$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 a web-based item analysis 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.
