Our experience has shown that if you are serious about taking a high value test, to adequately prepare yourself, you need to have a minimum of three months. For those on a budget, a subscriber can also choose a 1-week or a 1-month subscription.
5. Why is OMMtests.com so costly?
Professional licensing organizations have estimated that a single question on a board certification exam maybe easily valued between $1000-$3000.

When compared to the high value cost that you pay for your Osteopathic Boards, OMMtests.com is quite a good value.
