In order to use UWorld services, you need to:
In consideration of and subject to your payment of the appropriate subscription fee for the services you subscribe to, and your agreement to and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, UWorld grants to you a non-exclusive, non-sub licensable, non-transferable license, and right to use and access the UWorld content (the "licensed materials") from multiple devices/locations with non-concurrant login access ("different times"). You are not allowed to access the UWorld content from multiple devices/locations concurrently (at the "same time"). Access of UWorld services from multiple devices/locations concurrently will be defined as account sharing, and appropriate action will be taken as defined in the "Restriction Against Transfer" section of this agreement.
You must use a UWorld recommended version of an operating system, Internet browser, and any other required software to access the licensed materials as specified in our. System Requirements are updated to account for advancements in technology. UWorld reserves the right to discontinue support for any system at any time. Compensation will not be provided for inability to use or access the services on discontinued or unsupported systems/devices.
The UWorld software used for the question banks (Qbank), Self-Assessment (SimExam), and Computer-based Case Simulation (CCS) (hereafter collectively referred to as "software") is designed to work with Java Runtime Engine (JRE) 8.0 or higher on Windows and Macintosh. Any attempt to use the UWorld software with lower versions of JRE constitutes a violation of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, and might result in unexpected behavior, for which UWorld cannot be held responsible or liable for any damages. The UWorld software is designed to access your computer system's clipboard during use. While a test is in progress, the UWorld software shall disable all clipboard functions of your computer system (including, but not limited to, copy-paste-print and save-to-disk functions). Furthermore, the UWorld software shall monitor all processes on your computer to determine if there exists any applications that could be used (intentionally or unintentionally) to copy contents. Simultaneous use of such applications (hereafter referred to as "dubious applications") with the UWorld software constitutes a violation of this agreement. UWorld reserves the right to determine which applications are classified as "dubious applications". When such a process or application is found to be active on a user's machine, the administrator will be notified with the process name. The user will also be notified with instructions to disable it on every attempt. In addition, UWorld reserves the right to disable the launch of any test(s), if any such "dubious application" is found to be active on the user’s computer system. The user will not be able to switch between applications when UWorld software is running. The user also understands and acknowledges this disabled function as part of the subscription terms.
The content presented in the self-assessment examination serves as an educational tool only for medical students and graduates. The Assessment Score is calculated by UWorld based on its own proprietary algorithm. This is not intended to predict your performance on the actual USMLE™ but is designed to help you assess relative strengths and weaknesses in different subjects and systems of medicine.
UWorld will always keep your account and self-assessment exam performance results confidential and will not provide such information to third parties without your consent. In the event that an educational institution (i.e., medical school or residency program) pays for the "services", the educational institution can request the performance results from UWorld through your written consent.
The UWorld Computer-based Case Simulation (CCS) software accurately reflects the official USMLE Step 3 Primum CCS. However, it is important to understand that we have no affiliation with the official USMLE Step 3 exam. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the UWorld case scenarios and software will respond to the actions of test-takers in an identical manner to the official USMLE Step 3 Primum CCS exam.
The UWorld software has been tested with a wide range of computer configurations; however, due to the rapidly evolving computer industry and unpredictability of various factors affecting computer systems, UWorld does not guarantee the functionality of its software on every configuration, nor does UWorld guarantee predictable behavior of the software in general. You recognize all of the above terms and accept that use of the UWorld software on your system is done solely at your own risk.
