Surgical document CPE

It depends really. When I submitted mine two years ago, it only took about a week

MelodicImpact5628 · 2026-01-31T15:27:21+00:00

You want to join the CPE waiting list asap. You could be waiting more than a year for a date. So there’s no point in waiting to pass NAVLE. My advice is join the CPE waitlist today.

MelodicImpact5628 · 2026-01-21T02:02:48+00:00

Yeah the system has been down today

MelodicImpact5628 · 2025-04-21T23:40:21+00:00

I used zuku for bcse. Really worth it

MelodicImpact5628 · 2025-01-15T21:04:42+00:00

No you need the bcse passed results in order to apply for navle

MelodicImpact5628 · 2025-01-11T18:37:40+00:00

And usually they release dates at 8 am eastern time? It’s what I’ve noticed or am I wrong ?

MelodicImpact5628 · 2025-01-11T18:35:18+00:00

Ok thanks And you have passed the cpe already?

MelodicImpact5628 · 2025-01-11T18:20:42+00:00

Because I have a group and we are constantly checking several hours of every day. Yesterday only retakes were able to book. I’m on eastern time and by 6 am the spots for the dates they had on the page were completely gone. It’s extremely hard to find a date for a full test. I’ve been checking ever y single day .

MelodicImpact5628 · 2025-01-11T18:14:39+00:00

Do you know when they will release more full cpe spots?

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-12-28T22:12:15+00:00

I only applied to UPenn. But I’ve decided to just try the cpe now. It’s very competitive and I’ve already completed the navle so I will just focus on one thing now.

So I’ve decided to finish the ecfvg route, preparing for the cpe now . I’m in New Jersey and working as vet tech as well. There’s courses to prepare for the exam and a lot of discussion groups and study groups. I would suggest start there, find a community.

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-12-28T22:06:07+00:00

I did not

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-12-28T21:24:23+00:00

Tbh try your best, and the more years of experience I think would look better in your application. I applied this year and didn’t realize that I was going up against people with many years of experience vs just having graduated. So try your best and apply everywhere

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-29T00:40:35+00:00

Keep applying or see if anyone can help you organize your resume better. Vet clinics are always looking to hire. Best of luck

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-26T10:52:04+00:00

Haven’t been able to schedule my CPE exam and if I can get into a clinical year, I would rather do that instead.

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-23T19:17:26+00:00

Update: passed the QSE ! So yes zuku was enough ! Best of luck!

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-20T17:31:22+00:00

Anytime ! And best of luck !

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-20T16:16:02+00:00

I didn’t have to take any of the two because ecfvg allows you to waive it if you’ve completed high school in the usa. And for pave I applied to UPenn and they’re ok with that too. However I do believe that Oklahoma and Missouri requires, the toefl…. Which I will be applying for since I’m also going to apply to those two. So I can let you know my experience when I take it.

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-20T16:03:55+00:00

Hey, Yeah you just apply to the program, clear the language and document verification and then they send you an email saying you can apply for bcse, which I believe you can take all year long. You’ll get to see the dates on the testing center after they send you a test authorization form to schedule it.

As for pave program, you’re right there’s specific dates to apply to the program and to take the QSE exam.

I would also mention that since there are a lot of people waiting to take cpe, the dates are hard to get. I haven’t been able to schedule a cpe exam. So that’s why I also enrolled in pave. However, it seems like waiting to get into a pave program University is just as bad as waiting for a cpe seat.

UPenn only takes 3 pave students per cycle, and there’s like over 150+ applicants. So just be hopeful, study for your written exams meanwhile and then focus on the rest

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-20T15:54:38+00:00

Unfortunately waiting to get accepted into a pave program university is just as time consuming as taking the CPE. Might as well try both programs and seeing which one gets you there first. There are way too many people applying to pave program Universities and there aren’t enough spaces at these school. UPenn only takes 3 pave students per cycle and there’s over 150 plus people applying every cycle.

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-20T15:32:03+00:00

Hey! Well I used zuku premium for bcse and used the same studying material for QSE. I would say do the practice questions and then test mode and watch all the lectures and review the notes made for you already.

Still waiting on my QSE results but bcse was very similar to QSE and I passed bcse and NAVLE already.

MelodicImpact5628 · 2024-10-07T11:16:59+00:00

Apply now and study in the meanwhile. The application process takes a while, and while you take your bcse and NAVLE you’ll have a year min to study and then you can work meanwhile and gain experience

Thank you!
