I don’t think nbde scores expire anymore as it’s pass and fail… did you read it at there website that it’s valid for 5 years or so?

You meant schools frown upon scores 5 years older.. possibly. I know few friends who got admission after 7 years of trying so I honestly would work on getting better and solid experience in US and reapplying rather then worrying about nbde scores validity. Good luck!
