NBOME Charges

Was looking for open PE dates in Chicago to switch from my Pa spot. The calendar showed open spot in June, so in order to take that spot, you have to cancel your current spot (which I did), and immediately went to book the Chicago spot. They say they are gonna charge 150 bucks...ok fine. I put in my info and click submit and it now says that spot is gone.

So now I had to go back and reschedule with my old spot and pay 150 bucks to do so......anyone have this issue and able to get money back?

FWIW: Rescheduled USMLE with no questions asked...no fees....simple. Love being a DO.

Makes no sense. If you are going to allow students to switch dates, then students should be able to hold their reservation, concurrently cancel/switch to the available reservation, and then pay the fee.

The site literally said that they had an open spot, and even after it told me it was full, it still showed open.

Why am I paying $150 fee when the system is jacked up? It still says there is an available spot now...even though there isn't!

You’re paying 150 for the exam, since the exams now cost 1300 and not 1150. So when you changed you’re spot you were going to have to pay 150 regardless

it's more holistic this way

If you call them to schedule or change dates they can often fix that problem.

They should honor the original price.
