Welcome
The NABNE website has been updated with information and applications pertaining to the August 2010 NPLEX Exam Administration.
AUGUST 2010 EXAM DATES:
- The Part I - Biomedical Science Examination will be administered on Tuesday, August 3rd
- The Part II - Clinical Science Examinations will be administered Wednesday-Friday, August 4th, 5th, and 6th.
AUGUST 2010 APPLICATION POSTMARK DEADLINES:
- The postmark deadline for application is May 15, 2010.
- The late postmark period for application is May 16-25, 2010. Application materials postmarked within this time period must be accompanied by an additional US$100 Late Application Fee.
- The final postmark deadline for application is May 25, 2010. Application materials postmarked after this time will not be accepted and will be returned.
WHAT'S NEW:
- NPLEX Exam Fees will increase, beginning with the August 2010 NPLEX Administration.
- The Part I - Biomedical Science Examination is now an integrated case-based examination that covers the topics of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry & genetics, microbiology & immunology, and pathology. What was previously called the Part I - Basic Science Exam Series (five examinations) is now called the Part I - Biomedical Science Examination (a single examination). NPLEX will no longer be preparing individual basic science examinations, so you will not have the option to retake single examinations (e.g., Anatomy Examination).
If you did not pass the Part I - Basic Science Exam Series prior to the August 2009 NPLEX Administration, you are required to take the single Part I - Biomedical Science Examination. A strong performance in an individual exam area (e.g., anatomy) on the Part I - Biomedical Science Examination cannot be applied against a failing score you achieved on a single Part I - Basic Science Examination.
- The Part II - Clinical Elective Examinations in Acupuncture and Minor Surgery have been expanded to include a total of 75 items, beginning with the August 2010 NPLEX Administration. Examinees will be allowed 90 minutes (1 1/2 hrs.) to complete 75 items for each Part II - Clinical Elective Examination.
