I feel I was really well prepared for the Biomedicine module, thanks to the TCMtests.com practice questions. The subjects from which my board exam questions came were all adequately covered, so there were no real surprises or unusual questions. I also really, really enjoyed studying Point Location on TCMtests.com - the graphics were excellent, and using the interactive sequences took the tedium out of studying. PP

5. Why doesn't TCMtests.com have shorter subscriptions?
Our experience has shown that if you are going to take a high value test, to adequately prepare yourself, you need to have a minimum
of three months. For those on a budget, a subscdriber can also choose a 1-day, 1-week, or a 1-month subscription.
6. Why is TCMtests.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. TCMtests.com gives you over 29,000 questions for use. When in compared to the high value
cost that you pay for your National Board or California State Board, TCMtests.com is quite a good value.
7. Where do the TCMtests.com questions come from?
The TCMtests.com questions are based on the recommeded source books that the NCCAOM and the California Boards recommend that you study.
