Please don't worry about this yet. You've got a minimum of 12 years before this is a problem for you. It's extremely likely to be different and there's a ton of time for you to experience life and truly decide whether or not to pursue veterinary education.

Focus on being a teenager right now ❤️

To directly answer your question, you go to vet school, they teach you the info, and currently you take a long computer multiple choice test at the end. You pass, you can get a license. It’s not anything that needs special understanding or worry. The vast majority of people pass. It is a lot, but there a LOT of life between early high school and NAVLE down the line. I’d argue that college, the vet school application process, and vet school itself are all significantly harder than the licensing exam. Enjoy your time as a kid, maintain your good grades, develop some hobbies. Apply for all the undergrad scholarships you can and go to an affordable school to minimize your student debt. When you do get to college, do as well as your classes, have some fun, get some veterinary experience by working for or shadowing vets if you’re still considering vet school, and develop connections. Those are all much more important steps than worrying about one exam at the end of the path. You’re 6-8 years from even applying to vet school, and 10-12 years from having to take an exam like NAVLE. Both the profession and you could change drastically in that time. You don’t make the choose to pursue vet med based upon an exam, you make the choice based upon experience working for a vet and seeing the profession first hand. But enjoy being a kid for now.
