Two recent changes are generating candidate questions: (1) the retake policy update effective March 2026, under which every candidate — regardless of prior testing history — now receives five fresh attempts, with the previous waiver process discontinued; and (2) a NAVLE structure change beginning the October–November 2026 window moving to shorter testing blocks with more frequent breaks. Boards fielding candidate questions on either topic can point candidates to the Candidate FAQ or the News and Updates page on icva.net for full details.
