All NAVLE candidates will be able to access their results at the navle Score Portal. If you're planning to take the NAVLE, this is the place to find out your passing score and diagnostic breakdown of your performance by topic.
The NAVLE test is required to obtain licensure for veterinary medicine practice in North America. It includes 360 multiple-choice clinically relevant questions. It is administered throughout North America and certain overseas sites at computer testing centers operated by Prometric. It is offered twice a year - in November/December and April.
NAVLE passes are high
The AVMA council on education expects that at minimum 80% of graduating senior students taking the NAVLE will have passed by the time they graduate. Since 2001, LSU veterinarian students have achieved a pass rate that is consistently higher than this benchmark.
It is a difficult test
The NAVLE consists of 6 sections with 60 questions per section for a total of 360 questions. It is a multiple choice exam and is done on the computer.
ICVA offers practice assessments and a NAVLE tutorial to help you prepare for the exam. Zuku Review and VetPrep offer exam preparation services that include practice assessments and NAVLE questions.
Your NAVLE scores won't be available instantly after you complete the test, so it's important to keep that in mind when you're preparing for the exam. Rather than panicking about your results, wait patiently and then use your NAVLE score report to identify which topics need more attention.
You can retake the NAVLE as many times as you like, but the fourth and fifth attempts must be taken within 5 years of your first attempt. Make sure you allow plenty of time for studying if you do decide to retake your exam.
To retake the NAVLE test, you will need to register with ICVA and follow their reexamination instructions. This will include registering with a different testing window.
NAVLE results can be accessed via a portal approximately one month after the end the testing window. This is especially true when you are testing in fall, as it tends to produce better results.
NAVLE, also known by content-based or criterion-referenced tests, is an objective-referenced test. It is scored by an expert veterinarian panel that evaluates each question to determine whether it meets a specified standard. This standard is then applied to all forms of the NAVLE, using a process called equating, to ensure that your score remains constant despite variations in item difficulty between different tests.
NAVLE scores will be converted to a scale ranging from 200 to 800. A 425 is the minimum passing score. While some licensing boards might ask for a different scale, they will convert your score to that scale. However, the actual passing standard remains the same across all jurisdictions.
If you're interested in retaking the NAVLE, you can request approval to do so through your DELPROS account. Log in to the e-License Dashboard. Click on "Service Request." After approval, you will receive an email notification.

How To
How to choose the perfect name for your pet
Choosing a name for your pet is one of the most important decisions you'll make when adopting a new animal into your home. You want your pet's name to reflect their personality.
Also, think about how others might refer you to them. For example, if you plan to use their name when speaking with someone. Finally, think about how you'd like to be referred. Are you more comfortable calling yourself "dog" or your "pet"?
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get going.
-
Choose a name that is appropriate for your dog's breed. If you're familiar with the breed (e.g. Labradoodle), search for names associated with it. Ask someone who is familiar with dogs to recommend a name that fits the breed.
-
Think about the meaning of the name. Some breeds are named for people or places, others are nicknames. Because he was always running, the name Rover was given to a Labrador Retriever.
-
How would you like to be called? Do you prefer to be called "dog?" or "pet?" Would you rather call your dog "Puppy", "Buddy" or "Buddy?"
-
Include the first name of the owner. While it is sensible to name your dog after your last name, you don't have to limit your options to include names of family members. Your dog could become part of your family as well!
-
Keep in mind, many pets have multiple nicknames. A cat, for instance, could go by different names depending upon where she lives. While she may be called "Kitty Cat" at her home, she might go by "Molly" when visiting her friends. This is especially true for cats who live outside. They often adopt their names to fit their environment.
-
Be creative There are no rules that say you have to follow a certain naming convention. Make sure you choose something memorable and unique.
-
Check to make sure your chosen name hasn't been used by someone else or a group. So you don't accidentally steal someone's identity.
-
Don't forget that choosing a name is not an exact science. Sometimes, it takes time for you to choose the right name. You can keep searching until you find your perfect match.
