How much does UWorld cost? 2026 NCLEX, USMLE, MCAT and CPA pricing

UWorld pricing depends entirely on the exam and how long you need access. As of July 2026, the NCLEX-RN QBank runs from $139 for 30 days to $449 for two years, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 QBanks run from $349 for 30 days to $749 for two years, the MCAT QBank starts around $339 (with full prep courses from $599 to $1,549), the SAT QBank runs $99 to $249, and UWorld CPA runs from a $299 six-month QBank up to roughly $2,300 to $3,900 for the unlimited Elite package. UWorld runs near-constant promotions, so the price at checkout is often lower than the list price.

Those are list prices pulled from UWorld's own product pages, before the discounts it advertises most weeks. Question-bank sizes and access windows are the two things that actually change what you pay, so the tables below break down each exam. Verify the exact figure on uworld.com before you buy, because UWorld updates prices and promotions frequently.

How much does UWorld cost for the NCLEX?

The UWorld NCLEX-RN QBank costs $139 for 30 days and scales up to $449 for a 730-day subscription, with 60, 90, 180 and 360-day terms in between. The bank holds more than 3,000 questions including over 750 Next Generation (NGN) items, and the number of included CAT-format self-assessments increases with the longer terms. The NCLEX-PN QBank is cheaper, from $129 for 30 days to $329 for two years.

One cost people miss: the self-assessments. If your term does not include all of them, extra forms are $25 each, or $100 for the bundle of six. Those predictive tests are one of the strongest reasons to buy UWorld, so factor them in rather than assuming they are all included.

How much does UWorld cost for the USMLE?

The UWorld USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK QBanks share the same price ladder: $349 for 30 days, $459 for 90 days, $519 for 180 days, $579 for 360 days, and $749 for 730 days. The Step 1 bank holds more than 3,600 questions and the Step 2 CK bank more than 4,300. Self-assessments are bundled on the longer terms and otherwise sold separately at $50 each or $120 for three.

The USMLE is where UWorld is closest to non-negotiable, and it is also where it is most expensive. Most students buy a longer term for Step 1, keep it running into dedicated study, and add the self-assessments as predictors. Budget the two-year plan plus a couple of self-assessment forms if you want the full picture.

How much is UWorld for the MCAT and SAT?

The UWorld MCAT QBank starts around $339, and full prep courses run higher: the Core Prep Course is $599 to $699 depending on the window, and the Comprehensive Prep Course is $1,199 to $1,549 and adds video lessons plus AAMC practice exams. The MCAT content includes more than 3,000 MCAT-level questions and two UWorld full-length practice exams.

UWorld for the SAT is the cheapest product in the lineup. The SAT QBank runs from $99 for a 30-day Fast Track plan to $249 for a 360-day plan, and the SAT Prep Courses run $299 to $449, with more than 1,650 SAT questions and full-length practice tests included. A printed study guide is a separate add-on from around $59.

How much does UWorld CPA cost?

UWorld CPA, formerly Roger CPA Review, runs from a $299 standalone QBank with six months of access up to its unlimited Elite package, which lists near $3,899 and frequently sells around $2,300 during promotions. The QBank alone includes more than 9,000 multiple-choice questions and over 500 task-based simulations across all six exam sections. The higher packages add printed guides, mock exams, live boot camps and, on the top tier, a pass guarantee whose exact terms you should read at checkout.

CPA is the one exam where UWorld's list prices are hardest to pin down, because the packages load through a dynamic checkout that shows a sale price rather than a stable list price. Treat the QBank at $299 as the reliable low anchor and confirm any package figure on uworld.com the day you buy.

Is UWorld worth the money?

For most candidates on most of these exams, yes, with one honest caveat. UWorld's explanations are the best in the category, its self-assessments predict your real score better than almost anything else, and passing on UWorld alone surprises nobody. What you are paying for is a fixed bank with an expiry date, and on the longer, pricier terms you can finish the questions before your test date arrives, after which a second pass is really a memory test.

That is the gap a lot of people fill with a cheaper, unlimited practice source. We compared the two models in detail on our UWorld alternative page: the short version is that an AI tutor generates unlimited questions with every answer choice explained, which UWorld's fixed bank cannot do, but it does not replace UWorld's predictive self-assessments. The pairing that makes the most financial sense for many candidates is a shorter, cheaper UWorld term for the vetted items and self-assessments, plus unlimited AI practice for the daily volume in between.

How can I get UWorld cheaper?

Three things actually lower the bill. First, buy during a promotion, because UWorld discounts almost constantly and the checkout price is routinely below the list price shown here. Second, match the term to your real timeline rather than defaulting to the longest plan: a focused 90-day sprint on a $229 NCLEX term beats paying $449 for two years you will not use. Third, do not double-pay for volume you can get cheaper elsewhere. Use UWorld for its vetted items and self-assessments, and get your unlimited daily drilling from a source that costs a few dollars a month rather than burning a longer UWorld term to have more questions.

So price UWorld by the exam and the window you genuinely need, add the self-assessments if your term does not include them, and buy on a promo. It is an excellent product at a real cost, and the candidates who spend the least are the ones who buy exactly the term they will finish and get their extra reps somewhere cheaper.
