Am I required to register to take exams?
During the BETA TESTING PERIOD, you may not create accounts at the site. Once the test period ends, you will be permitted to create accounts that will allow you to track your progress. However, if you wish purchase CME credits or keep track of your progress, you must register. If you only wish to take the exam for self-improvement, no registration is necessary.

Is there any time limit for taking the test?
No, you may take as much time you need to finish the exam. However, because of the instability of some Internet service providers, we recommend finishing the exam at one sitting.

Do I need any special computer add-ons or memory requirements to take the test? What are the basic system requirements?
If you can access the Internet, you have the basic system requirements to take the test.

What is considered a passing grade?
You must answer 70% or more correctly to receive a passing grade. Incomplete exams will not receive any credit.

What happens if I disagree with an answer in the test or feel that I was graded incorrectly?
All answers will be posted on the site 1 year after original posting when the test expires. If you disagree with an answer, e-mail a description of the disputed question to admin-support@cme-tv.net.
Please include the month of the test, the number of the question in dispute, and the answer you believe is correct and why. All disputed questions will be reviewed by the preparers of the test in question. All decisions by the CME-TV, LLC are final.

If I fail the test, do I get another chance?
Yes, you can continue to take the exam until you pass.
Back
How long do I have to wait until I know my test results?
After answering the CME Post-Test Evaluation questions, you will be notified immediately whether you passed. Answering more than 70 percent of the answers correctly is considered a passing grade.
Back
Do you keep a record of the tests I have taken? How do I prove I passed?
We maintain a record indicating that you have taken a specific test. Subscribers will be offered a screen listing the available exams with a check indicating those they have already taken. Although these records are maintained to ensure smooth system administration, it is your responsibility to retain the certificates granted for successful completion of the CME.
Back
How do I get this certificate?
After you have successfully completed both the test and post-test evaluation of each monthly CME program, a certificate that includes your name, the name of the test, the number of credits awarded, and the date of the award will be generated onscreen. You can print the certificate. If a printer is not available, the certificate can be stored as an electronic file.
Back
What happens if I lose my certificate?
Once you have successfully completed a CME exercise, the database will grant you access to receive a certificate for that exercise as many times as is necessary.
Back
Why do I have to answer the CME Post-Test Evaluation questions?
The CME evaluation form is a requirement for ACCME accreditation and helps us continuously improve the CME testing exercise.
