I was in the same exact boat and my practice scores never budged. I did pass by 25 points. So relatively predicative on my end. But doable!
Class of 2025... How you doin’?

okay, update. i did a different icva practice exam today since my exam is tomorrow and i was 352 - 444. sucks that I still am in range to fail, but happy I was able to improve my score over studying the last few days. i guess i'll just take a deep breath and see how tomorrow goes

time is moving so quickly. i'm nearly done with core clinics at my school, nearly done with vet prep, and starting to get antsy about navle too. i've also been getting those '50% chance you may pass, 50% chance you may fail' scores, and i've reached the point where i'm getting annoyed at myself -- which i'm sure won't help anything.
mostly, i'm ready to be done with vet school. the fourth year burnout is so very real.
hope things are going okay for y'all!

it was horrible. i sat in the parking lot and cried for what felt like an hour. I have severe test anxiety and while I've been fine with no accomodations at school, I should've looked at getting acommodations for this.

My NAVLE is tomorrow. Power was out most of the week from the bomb cyclone so I got way less review done than I anticipated. Now power’s back on, and I feel like I should be studying, but I’m stress cleaning instead.
I did 100% of VetPrep and all 3 ICVA practice exams so I keep telling myself it should be fine, but I still feel sick to my stomach with anxiety 😭
I also have to drive back to MN this week and I’m v stressed about weather over the passes…

Update: Well, that was… something. Something majorly f-ed up lol. I don’t know if I want to scream, cry, sleep, or laugh. So instead I will go drink champagne and watch football!

I think this is normal for NAVLE. It's a horrible test, and absolutely none of my friends in vet school felt like we did well on it, yet we passed.

And if you happen to be one of the unlucky few that doesn't pass on the first attempt, I'm so sorry that you have to go through the experience again. Failing doesn't mean you won't be a good doctor, it just means you have to take it again.

Okay y'all, I'm doing it and asking the question I'm sure many of us are wondering:
Anybody know when we may receive our NAVLE scores? I believe last year the scores first came out on 1/17, but then they had their whole "wrong score reports" kerfuffle too.
I'm getting really antsy waiting for my results even though I know it hasn't been *that* long since the testing window closed.

I believe scores have generally been released sometime between Jan 15 and 21? That’s just what I noticed when stalking old threads so I could be off a bit!

According to ICVA they will be released 4-5 weeks after the last date of the testing window, which would put it during the week of January 19th. I feel like I’ve seen scores historically released on Wednesdays, but I can’t find that in writing anywhere, so I’m just guesstimating it’ll be the 22nd.

I have one week left of clinics and am dying to be finished 🥲 What are everybody’s plans for after graduation? I’m going into a small animal rotating internship- we’ll see how that goes!

i'm still getting my ducks at a row, but looks like i'll be splitting time between the wildlife hospital i started out at, and a gp/exotics clinic. i think first year out will be a lot of work, and still considering specialty internship in the future, but for some family health reasons i'm sticking a little closer to home. i'm all over the place emotionally about it all, but i am excited to get going. and nervous. and still planning fieldwork and mobile endeavors and such for the future, but trying to take it one step at a time for now.

I totally get that, that's nice to have some good variety and balance in your life! And thank you- I'm definitely nervous to start since I don't have a ton of small animal experience, but I really like the program and I think it'll be a good fit for me!

I graduated today!! The whole “I’m a doctor now” thing probably won’t hit me until internship starts, but in the meantime I’m living in the state between ecstatic and terrified haha

It's finally starting to hit me that I am done school forever and all that is left is just doctor. I've been done since the middle of April (I had a vacation for our last rotation) and I've been getting ready to move and went on a trip to the Azores!
Graduation is Monday (idk why, worst day for a grad ever 😒) then I'll be heading to UF for SA rotating (go Gators 🐊)
Get some Bento. I miss Bento at least once a week.
