4. Why doesn’t OMTOracle.com have shorter subscriptions?
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-month subscription, but your value is for the 1 year subscription.
5. Why is OMTOracle.com so costly?
Professional licensing organizations have estimated that a single question on a board certification exam maybe easily valued between $1000-$3000. Considering that board examinations have hundreds, if not thousands of test questions, a board with a test bank of 1,000 questions can be easily valued at 1 million dollars. When compared to the high value cost that you pay for your Osteopathic Boards, OMTOracle.com is quite a good value.
6. Where do the OMTOracle.com questions come from?
The OMTOracle.com questions are based on the recommended text books that the Osteopathic profession has used and are generally relied upon at Osteopathic Colleges, as well as recommended textbooks of Osteopathic certifying boards and current research in peer reviewed journals.. To learn more please view our Integrity Policy and our Item Writing guidelines.
