Hey Everyone,
So I just passed NAVLE on my first attempt this April. I was very stressed throughout the preparation phase. Some very kind and loving colleages helped me face this beast of an exam and so i feel like i should share how i tackled it. So for the first 2 months or so i did vetprep 60 mcqs daily plus 2 3 powerpages relevant to the species i was doing mcqs about. You know just testing the waters. In January, I made up a group with some of my friends and we did canine, feline , bovine and equine from Cotes and 5 minute. We would read like 15 to 20 diseases per day and then have a mock session at night time in which we would ask each other questions about things which we thought were tricky. ( Believe me this was sooooooo helpful, for many questions on my actual navle, my mind replayed the exact moment in which my friend asked me about something or told something) We spent like 14 days to read up on euthanasia , emergency medicine, clinic management, antibiotic usage, client communication, fracture management, Surgery basics, Preventive medicine and meat judgement (plus caprine,ovine and porcine from saunders) . Then I did a month of independant study in which I revised Vetprep (the whole package). For the last 30 days or so i did 2 revisions . In 21 days I reread the icva diseases from books. I would read a disease and write 5 things on my notes about that disease. I then gave an assessment a week before my actual navle and got a range of 756 to 800.( this made me hella confident). The last 7 days i just read up on the notes like navle saved my life, vetmed explained etc( You know these pdfs are rolling around in every prep group) . They were very good for quick revision of the important things. Took a day off and then went to take my NAVLE. I had a very tough first section, for a moment I thought there is no way in hell I am passing this. But fortunately the next 5 sections went by smoothly. Got my result 3 days ago and i scored 560. These entire 6 months were an emotional rollercoaster. So theres that.
Please dont hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. You are not alone in this. My advice to you would be dont overestimated NAVLE and dont underestimate yourself. You guys lived through vet school. This is easy compared to that. Believe in yourself. Best wishes fam.
PS:- i am willing to tutor if someone needs help studying.
