Irregular behaviour includes, but is not limited to, taking into the examination room any books, notes or other materials which pertain in any way to veterinary medicine; attempting to observe or copy answers of any other candidate; assisting any other candidate to answer any question of any examination; or taking any notes from the examination room. Irregular behaviour also specifically includes refusal to return examination booklets, answer sheets, booklets of normative values, or any other materials distributed, after the time allocated for the exam has ended.
Candidates are not allowed to contact head examiners or examiners at exam sites at any time. Repeated attempts to communicate with the exam site directly can be considered harrassment and can lead to being excluded from future exams at a given site. All communications from candidates have to go through the NEB exclusively.
Candidates must abide by the policies and procedures of the NEB and not engage in any forms of irregular behaviour, as outlined in this booklet guide and the CPE Manual of Administration. Failure to do so may be sufficient cause for the NEB to terminate one’s participation in the examinations, invalidate the results of one’s examinations, withhold or revoke one’s scores or certification, bar one’s participation in future examinations, or take other action as deemed appropriate by the NEB.
