Veterinary medicine (subject guide): NAVLE Resource Guide
NAVLE Basics
Passing the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) is required in order to practice veterinary medicine in the United States and Canada.
Plan to be at the testing site for 7.5 hours. 6.5 hours are allocated for testing time, this time is divided into 6 blocks of 65 minutes each, with 60 questions for each block. The rest of the time includes a 15 minute tutorial and 45 minutes of breaks including lunch.
More information about the NAVLE is available at https://www.icva.net/navle/ and their FAQs page provides a lot of additional information beyond what is highlighted in the tabs on this guide.
Keep current with the NAVLE by:
- Subscribing to email alerts
- Reading the Candidate Bulletin
"The NAVLE consists of 360 multiple choice questions, administered one at a time on the computer. Sixty of the items are unscored pretest items, but the identity of these items is not apparent, and they are dispersed throughout the test. Approximately 15%-20% of the items on the NAVLE include graphic or pictorial information relevant to the item (photograph, radiograph, drawing, chart, etc.). All NAVLE items are relevant to entry level private clinical practice." (NAVLE FAQ, What kind of examination...)
According to the 2017 Veterinary Professional Practice Analysis, the following 2 categories are assessed with approximate numbers of questions. Click on the links for Species Diagnoses or Competencies to learn more about the expectations of knowledge for each of those domains:
NAVLE Species Diagnoses
NAVLE Competencies
If you have not yet graduated, the NAVLE cannot be taken 10 months prior to your expected graduation date. Most students take the NAVLE in the fall of their fourth year and if they need to take it again, there is an opportunity to take it in the spring of their fourth year.
The NAVLE test fee is $720, and international fee is an additional $345.
- Fall applications are due by August 1 for the testing windows available in November and December.
- Spring applications are due by February 1 for the testing windows available in April.
State and licensing boards vary, be sure to check the State and Provincial Licensing Boards for more information
- NAVLE State Application Approvals for Maryland and Virginia are processed by ICVA.
- NAVLE State Application Approvals for West Virginia are not processed by ICVA. See the Forms & Links page from the West Virginia Board of Veterinary Medicine.
