when did you start studying for the navle/how much time did you give yourself? 6 months? 3 months? just looking for some advice! thanks in advance
 
I started about 6 months out, but I was coming back into my dvm program after several years away. I think otherwise, I would have started a little later. I reached 100% completion of vetprep today following the schedule it made for me, and I take navle next week.
 
I started 7 months out and also just completed VetPrep. It was nice because I had some heavy rotations and didn’t have to worry about doing a ton of questions. I also take my NAVLE next week!
 
I technically started working on VetPrep 7 months out but did not seriously study until 3 months out. Don’t worry too much if you do not complete all of VetPrep - I know students who passed and only got through like 20% or less of VetPrep. I’m at least aiming to do 80%
