NAVLE® RULES OF CONDUCT

 

When registering to take the NAVLE, you must agree to the Rules of Conduct before scheduling an appointment. As a reminder, the Rules of Conduct also show at the start of the exam. Take the time to review and understand which behaviors are considered unacceptable and what constitutes irregular behavior during the exam.

You are the person named on the Scheduling Permit for the examination.

 

You will not give, receive, or obtain any form of unauthorized assistance during the examination or breaks.

 

You will not have prohibited materials, including formulas, study materials, notes, papers, or electronic devices of any kind in your possession while you are in the secure areas of the center.

 

You will place in a locker or cubicle all personal belongings, including cell phones, watches, pagers, tablet PCs, iPods/media players, fitness and tracking monitors, any device with transmitting or receiving capabilities (e.g., Bluetooth), formulas, study materials, notes, papers, pens/pencils, and your purse and/or wallet, before you enter the testing room.

 

You will not leave your testing station for breaks unless the break screen is visible on your monitor. It is a violation of the Rules of Conduct if you indicate on the center log that your break screen is visible when it is not.

 

You may use a telephone or other communication device only when outside the secure testing area and during an authorized break. You may not use a device for any purpose related to test content.

 

You will not remove materials in any form (written, printed, recorded or any other type) from the testing center.

 

All examination materials remain the property of the ICVA or the ICVA and the National Board of Medical Examiners® (NBME®), and you will maintain confidentiality of the materials. You will not reproduce or attempt to reproduce examination materials in whole or in part through memorization or any other means. Also, you will not provide information relating to examination content that may give or attempt to give unfair advantage to individuals who may be taking the examination. This includes postings regarding examination content and/or answers on the Internet.

 

If you violate these Rules of Conduct, you may be directed to leave the testing center before you complete the examination. Also, evidence of violation of any test administration rule, including these Rules of Conduct, will result in actions being taken under ICVA policies and procedures on irregular behavior. If you are found to have engaged in irregular behavior, your score report and transcripts will include this finding, and you may be barred from taking the NAVLE in the future.
