We try not to brag… but we’re genuinely proud of what Vet Candy’s free NAVLE Prep has become.

This fall testing term alone, more than 2,000 veterinary senior students trusted our program to help them prepare for one of the hardest exams in veterinary medicine. Our approach is simple (but not easy): explain everything clearly, accurately, and without the fluff.

The NAVLE is the licensing exam veterinary students must pass to practice in the U.S. and Canada. It consists of 360 case-based questions, administered in six 60-question blocks, and takes a full day to complete—with about one minute per question. Think about that one minute to answer a complicated case based question!

Our NAVLE Prep is built directly from the ICVA species and diagnosis list, covering 900+ diseases and diagnoses across all species. Every disease on the list—yes, every single one—has its own dedicated lesson.

We also feature a robust library of videos taught by board-certified veterinary specialists, including Jessica Larson DVM, ; Dr. Courtney Campbell, DVM, DACVS-SA; Forrest Cummings, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM); Dr. Joya Griffin; Anthony Gonzalez; Carey Hemmelgarn; DJ Haeussler, Jr.; Craig Clifford; Lillie Davis DVM, DACVIM (Oncology) and more! They break down complex conditions like Cushing's Disease or Congenital Cardiac Disease, in a way that actually sticks.

We focus where the NAVLE focuses:
Dogs (~25%)
Cats (~24%)
Horses (18%)
Cattle (13%)
Pigs (5%)

And because anything can show up on test day, we go deep into diseases:
Canine (161), Feline (141), Equine (134), Bovine (80), Porcine (58), Poultry (56), Birds (37), Aquatics (17), Camelids & Cervids (76), Small Mammals (90), and more.

Because the NAVLE isn’t just about memorizing diseases, we also cover high-yield, must-know skills—blood transfusions, fluid loss and rate calculations, medical math, suture patterns, equine nerve blocks, and other concepts that appear again and again.

Knowing this is a 360-question, full-day exam, we built tools to support real-life studying:

✔️ A vet student planner
✔️ 7 digital textbooks for rapid review
✔️ Quiz shows with Dr. Shannon Gregoire and Jeremiah Pouncy, podcast overviews, discussions, and video reviews to make studying less miserable
✔️ Thousands of practice questions, including timed exams

No boring webinars. No endless slides. Just clear explanations, smart strategy, and content designed to help students walk into test day confident.

We’re grateful so many students chose to study with us—and we’re just getting started.

🚨 NAVLE Update 🚨

ICVA – International Council for Veterinary Assessment has officially announced an independent third-party audit of the NAVLE to strengthen transparency, fairness, and trust in the exam.

This follows a powerful open letter from the Latinx Veterinary Medical Association, urging the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) to support an external review to ensure the exam is equitable for all candidates—especially those from underrepresented communities.

A fair, modern, and unbiased licensure pathway benefits everyone.

Change is happening. Stay tuned. 🩺🐾
