NAVLE stands for North American Veterinary Licensing Examination, a standardized test abbreviation.
Licensing exam that graduates of veterinary schools must pass to practice in the US and Canada, administered by the International Council for Veterinary Assessment (ICVA). It has 360 multiple-choice questions covering dogs, cats, horses, food animals and other species.
Example: Fourth-year veterinary students usually take the NAVLE in the fall or spring testing window.

Many questions use images and clinical case scenarios. Graduates of non-accredited foreign veterinary schools must first complete an equivalency program such as ECFVG or PAVE. Individual states may add jurisprudence exams.
