NAVLE Retake Policy Changes Effective December 1, 2025
ICVA would like to inform all NAVLE candidates of an upcoming update to the NAVLE retake policy.
Beginning with the March 2026 NAVLE testing window, all candidates will be granted five (5) new opportunities to take the NAVLE, regardless of their prior testing history. Any test attempts made before December 1, 2025, will not count toward this new five-attempt limit. This policy is based on a comprehensive review of candidate feedback and NAVLE data.
As a part of this change, ICVA is eliminating the waiver process to ensure we have a consistent and equitable policy for all candidates.
If candidates currently have an open waiver request, it is now void under the new policy.

Sincerely,
The ICVA Team
