Passed no problem, my writing was average though 😂

Yes, I think it all takes a while. You can't be in a rush for this basically!

Well done for getting through the BCSE and I'm happy the break suggestions helped! Honestly, just do the best you can and practice timing yourself nearer the time for the NAVLE as this is all you can do to improve your speed. The speed is definitely a challenging aspect of it!

Thank you so much I'm preparing through the zuku as they were offering few dollars off compared to vet prep I hope it will help will be back to your channel once I get through that ... Tysm🤝

If you want the option to work in a clinic which is not a university, then yes you will need to complete the ECFVG. I believe if you specialise at a university in the US you can then work only in universities so unfortunately specialising is only somewhat of a bypass to doing this.

@@catwalkdoctor thank you ! And what about if my university is listed in the AVMA? I was wandering if I do my internship in a university accredited by AVMA does that allow me to directly go on NAVLE even though I graduate in an non AVMA university. I thought maybe by passing by having first an internship on an AVMA school ? I didn't quite understand that part on matching for an another internship or residency. But I also read that even after the NAVLE the visa is not guaranted and hard to get.

I would recommend joining the ECFVG group on facebook and asking this question there as it is more likely to be seen. Also checking your programme details for updates there, it should say submitted, pending or approved for this and then you can move on and apply for the BCSE. Good luck!

@@catwalkdoctor Thank you🙏🏻

Very similar format. The content may vary slightly, but overall it was sufficient to study from Zuku and pass the BCSE.

I just used Zuku.

@@catwalkdoctor sounds very good I am still working on my TOEFL but in the same time I wanted to work ahead for my BCSE . Good luck for you for the CPE . ❤️

Thank you, you too!@@simba_AMD

Not to my knowledge.

Not sure what the difference is, as I have only gone through ECFVG

If I recall correctly what I read with PAVE you will have to do a full year in an accredited vet school (in the US?) instead of the CPE and its preliminary practical exam! :) But the written part are the « same » as the ECFVG

Do you mean once you complete all the ECFVG steps? Think it depends on the state, and since I am not quite there yet I couldn't tell you.

Terrifying but you get through it! Vet school exams were also terrifying.

No, you have to take this first and in most states also the CPE.

Yes, all I needed :)

You can do this with a temporary license. Not sure on the application process, but it's only possible in certain states. The only one I know of is Nevada.

Hi! Personally, the NAVLE was harder because the exam was SO much longer. The challenges with the BCSE is it's a lot of content covered in vet school but less so used if you are now in clinical practice. So in this sense, NAVLE can be easier, but unless you work in mixed practice it's probably still going to be hugely challenging due to the different species.

I would not know how this could work or if it is possible, at least not to my knowledge. I suggest contacting universities in these countries or the AVMA.

Exactly!

It is an incredibly expensive process. The CPE is a whole lot more.

4000?? i thought it was a fee of 740 + international fee

also do i NEED to practice in order to pass them? i want to give both exams about 6 months and need to focus on them right after i graduate and i have almost zero practical skills i am thinking of working abroad as an assistant so that i can both get experience and save money for the exams but i can never be sure if that's goanna happen so do you think i won't pass the first two exams without experience? i only hope to pass them and get a temporary license and be able to train please if you think any of this is wrong or have a better way to go through with it any advice would be much appreciated

It depends how you find the questions when doing them in Zuku. BCSE is a lot of what you will have done at university, but NAVLE is more clinical based and therefore I would recommend clinical experience (at least 6-12 months) if you can get it. Obviously US students don't have this, but I found it helped a lot.

@@catwalkdoctor thank you I will try to work as a technician or an assistant while studying for the BCSE and hopefully it helps with the NAVLE

It was enough for me. I also had 4+ years clinical experience at the time.

I don't know what the process of UK registration is, you would need to find this information from the RCVS.

Thank you

I'm afraid I have no clue about registration in Ireland.

Hi! Congratulations on passing ECFVG! Such a huge accomplishment. I'm still in the UK as don't plan on moving over just yet, but CPE is coming up soon. Hoping I pass it 🙏. How are you enjoying life as a US vet?

Thank you! So happy to hear this :)

Hopefully once I pass it 😬

Yes, I subscribed to each one individually at the time when I needed them.

Not yet! I will try and do a video once I have, so fingers crossed as it's later this year.

I believe you just need to register in a different state. But, you'll need to look into this as I don't have any experience with it.

I would suggest emailing the AVMA ECFVG department directly, as I cannot answer this.

I'll try once I've done it and passed!

Thank you!

Not yet, scheduled to do this later in the year though! Glad this helped you :)

I used Zuku Review exclusively, and yes I passed the NAVLE and have a video all about it :)

@@catwalkdoctor hello doctor , I had also passed my bcse and now preparing for navle. So can u help me in regarding that .

@@dharamdahiya2602 Massive congratulations!! I have a video about the NAVLE too :)

I don't have any experience with this process I'm afraid. I registered in the UK pre-Brexit so have no idea on exams or requirements for this now, etc.

@Catwalk Doctor Thank you mam but just in case you come to know regarding same...please drop a video..as there is no information on internet 🥲

@@itzzmesrijan I recommend reading thoroughly on the RCVS website. That is the place to find the answer :)

I didn't really take any notes, just repeated the answers until I got them correct. There were some answers I knew I would not remember and needed to memorise (like reproductive cycle numbers in different species as an example) which I would take note of. Then these 1-2 pages maximum of notes would be what I looked at the day before the exam. I think you have to create your own schedule based on your exam date and what is realistic for you. I didn't follow their guides at all.

@@catwalkdoctor it makes sense. Thank you!

@@catwalkdoctor wow you are so smart

Do you mean once you have passed the ECFVG? Just depends on where you want to go, there are vet jobs everywhere :)

@@catwalkdoctor Doc. I want to work in Canada as Assistant vet after Navle So that the finance for CPE and preparation can be managed Can I?

@@dr.s.k.balodiya3234 I have heard of this option, but have no personal experience with it and therefore don't know the details of how realistic this is.

@@catwalkdoctor thanks🙏

I think you just have to pass everything within 5 years, but I'm not 100% sure. Check the ECFVG website for more accurate details.

I did :)

Thank you!

I took 10 days off prior to the exam, and then just studied on weekends and evenings a couple months before that. Had just started an internship then so time was limited.

Do you have to have internship or residency to go through all this process, do you know? After all that 4 steps you become a board certified or still have to go through more steps? I’m starting to search about this now and I’m kinda lost

Sure did!

@@catwalkdoctor I am from Pakistan plz help me how i can pass

@@yameenkoondhar9050 I suggest doing Zuku Review until you get them all correct, both in study method and exam mode. Also clinic practice will help a lot.
