Yeah that's what I'm worried about. I would much rather receive them next week rather than the week after due to the different clinical rotations I'm on.
The fall 2023 test window closed on December 16 (results came out Jan 17) so I think the results will come out earliest this Friday but maybe next Wednesday the 22 since this window closed on Dec 21st
pretty sure all at once
I don't think I would consider this a sign. I don't think they know when scores will be released, but they may be basing this email on the score release date last year.
They send an email like that every year. It's not a sign of anything.
doubt it. I think earliest this Friday but next week probably (not Monday because MLK holiday)
Just saw this announcement on the ICVA website. It says the ICVA employees will be out of office Jan 16th-19th, and will resume regular hours on Jan 21st. I feel this means we won't get them 'til the 21st at least now :/
Last year they released scores on Jan 17th and the board of directors meeting was Jan 19-20th 2024 and then for 2023 scores were released Jan 18th and the meeting was Jan 20-21st 2023. So they have usually released them the Wednesday before the meeting.
I remember this. We had to call the Ovma for our results. We had to nervously dial. Ugh I’m feeling really old tonight
lol what happened last year was ICVA's own screw up, releasing scores in batches won't change that
Yikes, I was reading this and for sure thought you were talking about the early 2000s, but then you said 2015 🤪 How did an organization as big as the ICVA let that system continue for so long.
When you’re done dealing with IVCA and NAVLE, you’ll then get to deal with a state licensing board for actual licensing and you’ll learn that most state boards are disorganized messes run by like three overworked and underpaid employees. Hopefully there is a sweet helpful older lady who gets stuff done like my current stage has. But I’ve lived in four states and getting anything done by the board is an endeavor. It’s an important and thankless job but it’s awful having to deal with them. My state didn’t even have an online license renew portal/CE log until like 2020, before that it was paper and mailing a check.
That’s actually not accurate. Last Nov-Dec cycle was a Thursday, the April cycle before that was a Tuesday. Etc. there’s no true pattern for the day of the week.
THE WORST
Also the worst. Out of the four states I've been licensed in thus far, only one board has seemed semi-functional.
Are people still trying to file a class action lawsuit over that?lol what happened last year was ICVA's own screw up, releasing scores in batches won't change that
This test result does not mean you will be any less of a doctor. I know several doctors (some who are specialists) who failed NAVLE the first time. I strongly suggest you utilize any resources and support your school provides.
It's okay, there are many of us that got surprised by results we didn't expect today. Let today be a day to feel defeated then we have no time to waste, we have 2.5 months to get this ball rolling let's hit the ground running! (I am sounding very optimistic as if I didn't ugly cry in the clinic office today when I found out I failed lol)
K-State STILL uses VetStar and it is AWFUL. Typing prescriptions into the program is horrible and the system is always malfunctioning, frozen, or broken. I could write an essay about my distaste for VetStar.
It’s usually slightly quicker than the fall because of fewer test takers and they know there is a time crunch because of graduation, but yes, it still takes a few weeks after the exam window closes.
