VTNE Test ReviewThe Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE) assesses the knowledge and skills of prospective veterinary technicians. The VTNE was developed by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards.
The difficulty level of the VTNE is appropriate for individuals seeking entry-level employment as a veterinary technician. The content of the examination can be broken down into seven general categories: Pharmacy and Pharmacology (14% of the exam); Surgical Preparation and Assisting (16%); Dentistry (8%); Laboratory Procedures (15%); Animal Care and Nursing (24%); Diagnostic Imaging (8%); and Anesthesia and Analgesia (15%).
The exam consists of 225 multiple-choice questions. Of these, 25 are pretest questions which do not count towards your score. Pretest questions help the exam administrators develop future versions of the VTNE. It will not be possible to identify pretest questions. The exam takes approximately four hours. Scores are generated using a formula that takes into account the relative difficulty of the exam version. Your raw score, which is the number of questions answered correctly, will be converted onto scale ranging from 200 to 800. Unanswered questions have the same value as questions answered incorrectly, so it is always best to guess when unsure about an answer on the VTNE. The minimum passing score is 425. The VTNE is administered on the third Friday of January and June. You will be provided with a calculator to use on the examination.
