As per the title.
The reason I am confused is that on the website it states:

Limit on NAVLE Attempts

A candidate may not sit for the NAVLE more than five (5) times during a five year period starting from the first attempt. Each of the final two attempts must be at least one year after the previous attempt. This policy took effect beginning with the Fall 2007 session of the NAVLE. Any previous attempts by a candidate, prior to the Fall 2007 testing window, will not count toward the five attempt limit.

Candidates are required to wait for a period of one year following an unsuccessful fifth attempt and are strongly encouraged to undertake remedial training before applying for a further cycle of five attempts.

BUT

It also states: A graduate of an accredited veterinary school needs to pass the NAVLE within 2 attempts in order to receive a CQ. If the candidate requires more than 2 attempts, they must also successfully complete the CPE. The CPE is a hands-on, practical exam administered at predetermined test sites.

What is it? Twice is the max or is it as per the NBVME's guidelines?

Thanks.

It's both.

You can take it 5 times in 5 years. If you don't pass the first 2 times, you need to take the CPE as well.

For Canada, it's 2 times before having to take the CPE.
