Firms and Institutional Purchases
If you've received your access through the purchase made by a school or firm/organization, please contact them directly.

You may request to upgrade your subscription purchase as long as it has not been activated. If you purchase a combination package, all included subscriptions must be unused. Current subscription pricing will apply.

You may request to upgrade your subscription renewal as long as the renewal duration has not started or gone into effect. Current subscription pricing will apply.

If your subscription has been activated or the subscription renewal duration has started or gone into effect, unfortunately, we cannot upgrade it retroactively.

We do not offer custom duration(s) or combination packages other than those outlined on the website. Please refer to our purchase page for currently available subscriptions (including discounted combination packages for some products).

Subscribers whose active Qbank subscription(s) have not expired can purchase renewals from 7 days or more at any time before their active Qbank subscription expires. Please refer to the respective course description page for renewal options.

We offer a demo (or a 7-day trial version) on most of our product pages that contains a sample of the product interface and a small subset of questions. We do not offer guest accounts to test our software and view materials.

It is possible to purchase a subscription as a gift for someone else.  However, the intended recipient will need to register an account on our website (or have an account registered for them, with their profile information entered accurately).  If the user is present at the time of purchase, the purchase can be made from their account on our website using any credit or debit card with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo.

If the user is not present, or you wish for the gift to be a surprise, please contact Support directly using the contact form to arrange payment for the gift subscription.  You will need to provide the user's registered email address so the account can be located.

The personal information that a subscriber provides is highly secure and the credit/debit card information will not be stored after the transaction is processed.  All subscription payment information is sent over a 256-bit encrypted SSL connection to the payment gateway.

New MBE Qbank:  A new subscription goes into effect from the moment of purchase.

Other New Purchase:  All new subscriptions go into effect from the time they are activated and not at the time of setup/purchase.  A subscription can be activated immediately or any time thereafter. If your initial purchase consists of multiple courses (Qbank, Self-Assessment exam, CCS, etc.), each can be activated individually and independently via your account on our website.  This process of activating a subscription after purchase allows you the flexibility to start a subscription when you are truly ready to use it.

We recommend that all subscriptions be activated within 180 days of setup/purchase.  Once a subscription is activated, it cannot be paused or suspended for any reason and will run continuously for the duration of the course material.

All Renewal Purchase:  A renewal is an extension of time to continue access to a current activated subscription.  Because a renewal is an extension to an already active subscription, it is effective from the existing expiration date, not from the day of purchase and cannot be deferred to start at a later date/time.

A subscription goes into effect from the time it is activated and not from the time of setup/purchase.  It can be activated from our website immediately or any time thereafter without any set deadline for activation.

Self-Assessments:  These subscriptions, even those purchased together, are activated (and subsequently expire) independently from one another and from any other subscriptions they may have been purchased with.  No Self-Assessment will expire (or otherwise become unavailable) until it has been activated and runs through its full duration, regardless of the status of any other subscription in your account.

CPA Review:  All sections/subscriptions included in this package are activated concurrently and, subsequently, expire concurrently.

To activate and/or access a subscription:

• Log in with your login credentials.
• Click on the Activate button associated with the course you prefer to activate.
• Click on the Launch button for the course you want to access (you may need to refresh the page in order to see the launch button).

Please use the following steps to purchase a renewal for your subscription:

• Log in to your account on our website
• Click on the User Icon in the top right corner of the screen
• Click on the Renew button corresponding to your subscription
• Select the Renewal duration you wish to purchase
• Verify your profile information, address, and educational status, then click the Update button
• Enter your Billing address and credit/debit card information, then click Review Order
• Verify that the correct package is in your cart and click Place Order

Upon a successful transaction, you will be sent a confirmation email receipt.

Renewals are NOT available for MBE QBank.

A renewal is an extension of time to continue accessing an active subscription, and it will not start the subscription over, provide a reset, or grant access to additional questions that were not previously accessible.  Because a renewal is an extension to an already active subscription, it is effective from the existing expiration date, not from the date of purchase, and cannot be deferred in any way to start at a later date/time.

Please note that to qualify for renewal pricing, you will need to renew the course before it expires.  Renewals are not offered to expired subscriptions.  If you fail to secure a renewal before the expiration date, you will need to purchase a new subscription at the regular price directly from our website to regain access to the material.

This could happen for two reasons:

• Multiple accounts in our system:  You may have created multiple accounts on our system and are most likely using a different account.  Please email [email protected] with pertinent details of your transaction (last 4 digits of the card number, amount charged, date of transaction, and billing address) so that we can look up your specific transaction to locate your correct account.

• Expired subscriptions:  All of our subscriptions are based according to the Eastern Time Zone (GMT/UTC -5 hours or New York Time), which may be different than your local time zone.  Some users may assume that the date and time associated with their subscription reflects their current local time zone, when, in fact, it does not.

• Wrong mobile app downloaded!:  We maintain different mobile apps for each of our different product types. (i.e. USMLE, Boards, NCLEX, MCAT, College Prep, etc.) Please make sure that you have downloaded the correct app for your subscription.

If you have forgotten your password, please enter your email address in the field under Forgot Password? to reset your password.  You may be required to answer a security question correctly in order to set a new password without the password reset link.  This security question will be one of the two questions you chose when registering your account.

Please note that you must specify your registered email address in the Forgot Password? retrieval dialog box as we do not send these instructions to alternate email addresses.  Some mail servers may flag the automatic password retrieval message as spam; therefore we recommend that you check your spam/junk mail folder as well.

If you are unable to locate the log-in retrieval email (or no longer have access to the originally registered email address), please contact [email protected] for further assistance.

It is critical that you keep this information updated as all communications related to your subscription rely on the accuracy of your profile details.

The username in our system is the same as your email address.  The updated email address will become your new username.

You may update your registered email address by doing the following:

• Sign in to our website using your existing username and password combination.
• Click on the Profile tab.
• Enter your desired email address in the Email field under User Information.
• Check availability and click Update if available to save changes.

To update your password, fill in the required fields under the Change Password section.

• Enter the current or temporary password.
• Enter a new password (minimum of 8 characters).
• Re-enter the new password to confirm.
• Click Update to save changes.

This problem might arise if you lose your internet connection while course content is being downloaded onto your computer.  The test is downloaded on your machine while the images and media are stored on the server.  Therefore, you may be able to move from one question to the next in absence of internet connection, but the images and media will not load.  This is especially true if you are using an unable connection.

Our qbank requires reliable and stable connection in order to download images and save tests while communicating with our servers. Wireless connections are great in terms of offering flexibility with connection but are quite unreliable when providing sustained and reliable internet connectivity.

If you have made a mistake when selecting the Test Mode, Question Mode, or number of questions, this cannot be changed.  If you would like to recreate the test in your desired mode to retake the questions, we recommend that you mark all questions in the test and then generate a new test using the Marked question mode.
