The North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE®) comprises 360 multiple choice questions, which are administered one at a time by computer. Approximately 15% to 20% of the questions will include relevant graphic or pictorial information (photograph, radiograph, chart, etc.). This exam is designed to measure one’s general knowledge base in the various scientific disciplines required in veterinary medicine. The NAVLE requires one full day to complete.
Limit on NAVLE Attempts
A candidate may not sit for the NAVLE more than five (5) times during a five year period starting from the first attempt. Each of the final two attempts must be at least one year after the previous attempt. This policy took effect beginning with the Fall 2007 session of the NAVLE. Any previous attempts by a candidate, prior to the Fall 2007 testing window, will not count toward the five attempt limit.
Candidates are required to wait for a period of one year following an unsuccessful fifth attempt and are Unlimited NAVLE attempts are allowed as of the November-December 2017 NAVLE testing window. Within any seven-year NEB examination period candidates are allowed to take the NAVLE during any testing window without any mandatory waiting period after a failed attempt.
Candidates are strongly encouraged to undertake remedial training before applying for a further cycle of five attemptsnew attempt.
