Welcome
The NABNE website has been updated with information pertaining to the August 2009 NPLEX Exam Administration.
Looking Ahead:
-
The postmark deadline for application to take the August 2009 NPLEX Examinations is May 15, 2009. Application materials postmarked May 16-31, 2009 must be accompanied by an additional US$100 Late Application Fee. Application materials postmarked after May 31, 2009 will not be accepted and will be returned.
What's New:
- Beginning with the August 2009 NPLEX Administration, the Part I - Biomedical Science Examination will integrate what were previously five individual examinations into a single examination that will cover 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 no longer have the option to retake single examinations (e.g., Anatomy Examination).
If you have not passed the Part I - Basic Science Exam Series prior to the August 2009 NPLEX Administration, you will be 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. In order to pass the new integrated Part I - Biomedical Science Examination, you must meet minimal competency requirements in all five exam areas.
