you don't need calculator in for the BCSE

Hi guys I'm new in the forum....just a few words...if you haven't pass the english section you should try IELTS instead of TOEFL.......... I took BCSE last month and I failed it..... I think ZUKU review is great but you have to study it very meticulosly other wise you'll be in big trouble the day of your BCSE test...... if you have any question call me 8018605754 or e-mail me carlosclavijovet78@gmail.com...

Hey carlisimo ! I have recently passed TOEFL and now preparing for BCSC. I have been told to study different books like Merk manual, NVMS series, couple of books from Pasquini etc. Practically It is hard to read and memorize everything in those books. I am confused. Would you please guide me what should I do??? Thanks

Hi guys, it seems that, unless you also have a certification as a veterinary technician, it is very difficult to find a VT job in North America, as many states don't allow foreign doctors to work as vet techs (some clinics might allow you, but this is an exception rather than the rule, and many local doctors don't seem to like foreign doctors...) So I was thinking to take bcse and navle and they to apply for a limited license, where to work as a vet under supervision, until I take cpe. But I would need a local doctor to grant me a limited license. Do you think this is a good idea/will be easier to find a job like that? Maybe someone who was in a similar situation can help. I really don't know what to do and any advice would be great.

Hi all

I would thank your advice here:

1. Just in theory, if each one of the 4 steps goes smoothly and successfully achieved, with all the paperwork ready and delivered, how fast a candidate can finish the ECFVG accreditation? It is possible (again if all is good) to do it in 1 year time?

2. Currently, how long is the waiting list to sit the CPE one 1,2,3 are completed?

Thank you for your input past, current, and future candidates!

Cheers

call me or write to my e-mail......i'll be happy to help you that way

I have a BCSE in August, 2012, and it would be great to have a study partner on phone/skype or in person if you are in the Triangle area of North Carolina.

Hey carlisimo ! I'm preparing for TOEFL now and I would like to start reading for BCSC. I have the list with all the books for preparation for the exam, but I think it's too hard to read and memorize everything. I need a help. Would you please guide me what should I read exactly for this exam.

Hi there,

I have just completed CPE and am currently awaiting results. From my initial step 1, the process has thus far taken me 12 months, but can be significantly longer if you need to repeat one or more steps.
Waiting time for CPE exam varies, as the exam can be taken at multiple exam sites in North America. Unfortunately you are only elegible to apply for the CPE (and thus start/be informed of the waiting period)once you have completed steps 1,2,3 of the ECFVG as well as the NAVLE (which is only offered 2 times per year - around April and November/December)so this is also a rate-limiting step in the process.

Hope this helps & best of luck!

I used Zuku subscription specifically for the BCSE, the questions are a little different when preparing for the BCSE compared to the NAVLE.

Hi Austin898

Thanks for your post. It clarifies me that in theory is possible to pass all steps in 12 months as I wish be your case. Good luck with your CPE results.

Hi Austin 898!
I just read that you have already taken the CPE. Could you share your experience? How did you get prepared for it? How did you feel during the examinations? If you don't mind, I'll be happy to know about your experience and recomendations. I already passed the BCSE, so I'm now preparing for NAVLE and want to prepare for the CPE at the same time.
Thank you and I hope you get good news from your CPE results!

Hi there,
I prepared for the CPE mostly by practical experience - I am a small animal vet so I made sure to spend some time with large animal practitioners and revise large animal skills/procedures. Once you apply for the CPE the AVMA will send you a CPE Manual of Adminstration which will give you information on the examination sections and format, use this as your guide for exam preparation. The most improtant piece of advice I would give anyone on taking the CPE is to have a way to deal with stress...try to stay calm and collected and most importantly don't panic if you make a mistake.
Thank you for the well wishes and best of luck with your NAVLE and CPE!

Austi898,
Thank you for posting. Your post is very encouraging. However, you said your a small animal practitioner, right? Where do you practice? How long ago was it? How long?
Your career seems to tell me that I really have to volunteer in a clinic or hospital and be there for a long period of time before taking CPE. Your answer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am a veterinarian from Brazil. I have applied for the ECFVG test , I have been studying for a few months , zuku review and several books. In addition, I have been watching the NAVLE preparations videos by the University of Florida. All videos were available on the futurevows.com homepage. Unfortunately, the home page is not available. I would like yo know if you can suggest other home page. These videos are very helpful. Thanks

Hello, I have a question to all licensed US / Canadian Veterinarians, If a foreign trained veterinarian pass BCSE and NAVLE with CVMA, and he pass CPE in Canada. then in future if he or she want to practice in US, then does he or she need to retake entire CPE in US with AVMA/ECfVG ? (I know BCSE and NAVLE are recogenized in both countries, but does AVMA / ecfvg accept CPE passing score taken in Canada with CVMA ? Thanks.

Hi fellow foreign vet grads.

I'm studying to take the NAVLE in Nov-Dec 2012 and I'm giving myself the ultimatum that passing it will be the basis as to whether I'll continue with the CPE or not.

I'm really tempted to just go home (Philippines) and start my own practice, especially with the economy tanking here in the US and the discrimination against foreign grads (can't even be considered for an tech job if they require an RVT, which is completely ignorant of them).

Anyway, if there's any of you from the Bay Area / San Jose let me know because I would love to rant about it more (kidding), I mean, study for upcoming exams together and figure out where to go for CPE training.

My email is criselignacio@gmail.com

Hi Vic,
I have been in small animal practice in Australia for 6 years before moving to the USA and taking the CPE, but everyone's experience and ability level varies. My advice would be to be completely familiar with and competent in performing the procedures outlined in the Manual of Administration for the CPE (which you will receive when you are eligible for CPE application) before taking the exam.
In order to acheive this you may need to spend some time volunteering/assisting in areas that you feel you need to revise/refresh your skills in...you will know what they are!
Best of luck

I am not sure about this. I would recommend that you contact the AVMA regarding this matter, or the Board of Veterinary medicine in the US State that you wish to practice in.
