The North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) is designed to provide a comprehensive objective
measurement of your knowledge of veterinary medicine as it relates to entry-level private clinical practice. The examination
assesses knowledge of veterinary practice involving all animal species commonly seen by private practitioners in North
America as well as the skills and competencies necessary to perform in practice. NAVLE results are reported to state and
provincial boards responsible for the licensing of veterinarians.
Your pass/fail test result is based on a minimum passing score of 425 recommended by the International Council for
Veterinary Assessment (ICVA) to pass the NAVLE. Individual licensing authorities may accept the ICVA recommended pass/fail
result or may establish a different passing score for their own jurisdictions.
If you tested repeatedly under the same conditions on a different set of items covering the same content, without learning or
forgetting, your score would fall within one standard error (SE) of your current score two-thirds of the time. The SE on this
exam is 28 points.
Your score +/ - SE: 501 - 557

Your Relative Strengths And Weaknesses
The boxes below indicate your areas of relatively lower or higher performance in each content area compared to all senior
students enrolled in veterinary schools accredited by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical
Association who took the examination for the first time between November 18, 2019 and December 14, 2019 under
standard testing conditions (the comparison group). The percentage range of items from each content area on the NAVLE
is also indicated below. This information can be used to identify areas of strength and weakness to guide future study.
Because the exam is highly integrative, ICVA recommends reviewing all content areas if retaking the test.
Strengths and Weaknesses Relative to the Comparison Group: An orange box in the "Higher" column indicates that your
performance in that area was higher than the average performance of the comparison group. An orange box in the
"Average" column indicates that your performance in that area was average relative to the performance of the
comparison group. An orange box in the "Lower" column indicates that your performance in that area was lower than the
average performance of the comparison group.
