Exam Series

Exam Format

Each of the COMAT exams consists of 120 items that must be completed within 2 hours and 30 minutes. A 5-minute tutorial is provided before each exam begins.

Every examination in the COMAT series has multiple forms, and all are psychometrically equivalent in content covered, level of difficulty, and reliability, allowing COMs to administer a given COMAT subject exam up to 10 times per year.

Eight Core Clinical Disciplines
Examination Series Components
  • The COMAT Exam Series is the only osteopathically distinctive subject examination series in which osteopathic principles and practice are integrated throughout each exam.
