I'm pretty sure (99%) that UF has an online study/class/lecture series geared towards foreign grads sitting for the NAVLE. Not sure how to get it though...maybe contact someone important (ie. not me) at UF. :)

Hi, I've already finished NAVLE and english proficiency test and been waiting for me to be prepared for the CPE exam.
I'm wondering if there are any source for the test. I've heard that there are some books and videos for it. Please let me know.

After applying for cpe, you will get the manual of the administration from ecfvg.
That is all I know. I am going to take this test in December and also would like to find some more informations about it.
 
You can get it (manual) from ecfvg once you apply for cpe.

HI!
I haven't been checking this forum for a long time because I wasn't getting answers at the beginning. Today I openned and I found many messages. What tells me, that there are many foreign veterinarians out there trying to get the licence but with not much help available.
I got my degree in Peru in 2000. I worked for a while there and then moved to US. I took ESL classes for about 2 years and after that I started working as a technician. I'm enrolled in the ECFVG program but I'm still in step 2 (I haven't been able to get 26 in the speaking section of the toefl yet :( but I am really close)
At the same time studying for the boards. I have compiled all the information about all we need to do about requirements and forms in every step and for taking the NAVLE. Most of the information is available in the AVMA web page and NAVLE page. I also have some information about the books we need.
Are you still in Peru? Did you pass the TOEFL? or Are you giving the boards soon? I really would like to start a group of study with all the people that is planning to take the boards.
Let me know, and tell me your name
I hope to hear from you soon UPCH

Hi there
Is there a link where I can learn more about NAVLE??
Thanks
 
I passed the NAVLE last year and I found the Mosby study guides very helpful. I am looking for study guides for the CPE. Anyone know of any good ones? How are the ones given by the ECFVG?
 
Dear Vets,

Nice to see you all here. I am also preparing for NAVLE and looking for more material to get through this step, I have some material like 'A to Z' and the video files from University of Florida which are very helpful; I can share those with you.
Please let me know if you have more information on the material to be shared among us.

Thanks a lot
 
VIN is also a good resource (there are members from many different countries) they have tons of CE courses. http://www.vin.com
 
Hi, I graduated from veterinary school in Kiev Ukraine, then I worked in Morocco as a veterinarian. I came to the States, I'm also enrolled in the ECVFG program, but I haven't passed step 2. I didn't get the speaking passing score of 26. I would like some advice from people who already passed the english proficiency exam. I'm also preparing at the same time for the NAVLE exam and would like advice for this as well. I would also like to meet other people in the same situation.

Hi,
I just passed the toefl (finally) in January and I'm taking the Navle in April. It took me a while to pass the toefl because of the speaking part. I think the key to pass the Toefl is just practice, practice, practice and don't talk in your language too much :) Good luck!

Congradulations for TOEFL and good luck for NAVLE.Do you know how long I need to prepare for NAVLE and which material is the best.
Gala
 
to whom it was hard to do listening or speaking parts in new TOEFL, it may be a good idea to try IELTS academic, i passed my IELTS, and i could't get enough in speaking part of TOEFL, i took it twice, so try IELTS.
 
I did the IELTS too and passed the first time, and it is cheaper than TOEFL!!
give it a try!:luck:
