FAQ
Q: When does a subscription start? Can it be purchased now but used later? What if I purchase a combination package consisting of multiple courses?
A: A subscription duration starts from the moment it is activated and not from the time of setup/purchase. This allows you the flexibility of starting a subscription when you are truly ready to utilize it. If your initial purchase consists of multiple courses (Qbank, Self-assessment exam form(s), CCS, etc), you will need to activate each of them individually via your account on our website.
Q: Is there a guest account or trial option to test the product prior to purchase?
A: Unfortunately, we do not offer guest/trial accounts to test our product(s) at this time. However, you can view a demo of our software from each of the product pages. You will need to have Adobe Flash installed on your system to view the demos.
Q: Is the software accessible via mobile devices (Android powered phone, Blackberry, iPhone, etc.)?
A: Mobile devices lack the necessary resolution of 1024x768 pixels. Hence, our services cannot be used from any mobile (or) other hand-held devices at this time. It is recommended you consult our system requirements webpage at http://www.usmleworld.com/system_requirements.aspx for a complete listing of necessary system requirements.
Q: How often is the content updated?
A: All of our products have a finite set of questions/cases and we routinely review and update them based on new research and changes in diagnostic and patient management practices. Questions containing older or outdated material are replaced with updated question content. Once a new question/case is added or an existing question/case is updated, it is automatically made available to all users with an active subscription to that particular course (regardless of the initial purchased duration).
- Step 1 content does not change as often as Step 2 or Step 3 as these questions/content are based on core scientific principals
- Step 2 content is added and/or changed based on new diagnostic procedures and medical research (this occurs quite frequently)
- Step 3 content is changed based on new protocols in patient management
- Content in our Self-assessment exams and Subject Review is changed only if the question/concept is obsolete
- Step 2 CS and Step 3 CCS cases are updated based on new protocols in patient handling/management
Q: Does USMLEWorld offer any discounts?
A: Unfortunately, we do not offer discounts to individual subscribers for the purchase of a new subscription. The only discount that we offer is a group discount for 50 or more subscriptions on Step 1 or Step 2 CK subscriptions. Please see our help page at http://www.usmleworld.com/help.aspx under General -> "Do you offer any discounts for students? Professionals? Institutions?" for further details.
