Hi guys,

I was just curious if anyone had any statistics about the pass rate of the ECFVG or PAVE tests? Do most students pass on their first try? Second try?

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

these are listed on-line someplace. have you already tried to goggle? also, you have a long time before you have to worry about these.
 
I know, but I'm interested in what I'm getting myself into. 🙂

Just an update, but not helpful news. I couldnt find stats online anywhere so I contacted AVMA/ECFVG and this is the email they sent back.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any published statistics regarding ECFVG. I would like to direct you to our web page http://www.avma.org/education/ecfvg/default.asp for further information about the program, including detailed information about each of the four steps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Time to Certification

As of January 2010, 203 of the 434 candidates who initially registered in the program in 2007 have been awarded ECFVG certificates and 91 are no longer actively enrolled in the program.
Time from registration to certification for these 203 candidates was as little as 5 months and as long as 32 months.

39 of the 203 certificate holders who initially registered in 2007 (19%) completed the ECFVG program within 12 months of initial registration;
129 (64%) completed the program between 12 and 24 months of initial registration, and
35 (17%) completed the program between 25 and 36 months of initial registration.

Individual results for new candidates may differ due to a number of factors unique to each candidate.

In 2010, 274 ECFVG certificates were awarded to graduates of more than 75 different veterinary schools in approximately 40 different countries. Since the inception of the current certification program (January 1, 1973) through December 31, 2010, the ECFVG has awarded more than 4,900 certificates.

Between January 1 and March 30, 2009, 133 new candidates have registered in the ECFVG program, and 40 candidates were awarded ECFVG certificates. Since the inception of the current certification program (January 1, 1973) through December 31, 2009, the ECFVG has awarded more than 4,700 certificates.

From January 1 through December 31, 2008, 414 new candidates registered in the ECFVG program. During that same time, 292 candidates completed the program and were awarded ECFVG certificates. Thirty-eight percent of those awarded certificates are native-born citizens of the United States and 62% are native-born citizens of other countries. Total number of certificates awarded since 1965 exceeds 4,500.

From January 1 through September 11, 2007, 320 new candidates registered in the ECFVG program. During that same time, 274 candidates completed the program and were awarded ECFVG certificates. Thirty-three percent of those awarded certificates are native-born citizens of the United States and 67% are native-born citizens of other countries. Total number of certificates awarded since 1965 exceeds 4,300.



From January 1 through December 31, 2006, 456 new candidates registered in the ECFVG program. Twenty-nine percent are native-born citizens of the United States and 71% are native-born citizens of other countries.During that same time, 371 candidates completed the program and were awarded ECFVG certificates. New certificate holders are graduates of more than 71 different veterinary schools in approximately 40 different countries. Total number of certificates awarded since 1965 exceeds 3,900.




From January 1, 2005 through December 21, 603 new candidates registered in the ECFVG program. The new candidate population is diverse, having graduated from more than 75 different non-AVMA/Council on Education-accredited veterinary colleges in more than 40 countries around the world. Twenty-one percent are native-born citizens of the United States and 79% are native-born citizens of other countries.During that same time, 343 candidates completed the program and were awarded ECFVG certificates. This is the greatest number of certificates awarded in a single year since the original certification program began in May 1965. New certificate holders are graduates of more than 75 different veterinary schools in approximately 40 different countries. Total number of certificates awarded since 1965 exceeds 3,600.

From January 1, 2004 through December 7, 621 new candidates enrolled in the ECFVG program. Although the year is not yet over, this represents an increase of 32%, compared with 2003 enrollment. The new candidate population is diverse: new candidates are graduates of more than 100 different non-AVMA accredited veterinary colleges in more than 60 countries around the world. In addition, 33% are native-born citizens of the United States.During that same time, 249 candidates completed the program and were awarded ECFVG certificates. New certificate holders are graduates of 73 different veterinary schools in 36 countries. Again, although 2004 is not yet over, the number of certificates awarded thus far exceeds the number awarded in any previous year and represents a 16% increase, compared with certificates awarded in 2003. Total number of certificates awarded since the current ECFVG program was initiated on January 1, 1973 now stands at 3,023.
 
You might also try posting in the veterinary section. I saw a thread awhile back pertaining to the BCSE (a sect of ECFVG) and someone there directed the person to the veterinary side... they might have more solid info?
 
I doubt the OP is too concerned now, four years later. 🙂 Why do people dredge up old threads randomly?

True story. I've already taken and passed the PAVE. 🙂 But thanks for the information anyway. It might be helpful for those considering foreign schools.
 
@ Hopeful07- do you have to take the ECFVG to practice in the U.S.? Or is it only req'd by certain states? I am looking into foreign schools and am still learning about the whole process. Also, I would love to chat with you more about your school...Can I PM you sometime? I just want to get the perspective of a student who has been through the Caribbean system. Thanks!

Hi there 🙂

You can take the PAVE or the ECFVG to practice in the States. If you take the PAVE, you are restricted to 34 States. Although more States are starting to jump on the band wagon. When I first started 2.5 years ago, there were only 28 States that recognized the PAVE.

If you go ahead and take the ECFVG, you can practice in all 50 States. I posted a few months ago on a thread and I explained the difference between the PAVE and the ECFVG which might help clear up some questions you have:

Feel free to PM me, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have about St. George's University.

Oh my, I did not notice the date! You have to really be searching for that thread...
 
Yeah, I know. It's alway weird to go to a thread thinking it's new and then see people that haven't posted in years! IT's kinda sad sometimes - I miss some of the old regulars. Ah well.

What's weirder is going into a necrobumped thread and see you responding to the LAST time it got necrobumped.
