RCVS Exam Self-Study Essential
For many of us, working in the UK means you need to sit and pass the RCVS Examination.
This free self-study Essential course exists to help you achieve that goal.
The challenges of the RCVS Examination
The RCVS Examination is known to be one of the most challenging ones, alongside the NAVLE, due to the high level of language, knowledge and pratical skills that it requires.
As if you were a UK vet student
The RCVS Exam is based on the examination system that UK vet students go through in order to complete their studies and become eligible to work. This is one of the first barriers, as you are unlikely to have been exposed to the British education system.
-
There is no study plan
The exam covers ALL areas of veterinary medicine, including non-clinical areas. It's basically an exam about your entire veterinary degree.
-
There aren't many affordable study resources
There aren't many resources available to study for the RCVS Exam, and those that exist, such as Vetlexicon, can become very expensive for you to join, even though they are of very good quality.
-
Study resources are of poor quality or not tailored to UK practice
Much of the study material, such as VetPrep, is used to study for the NAVLE, so the knowledge will be adapted to the USA and diseases they see there. The good quality resources are expensive, the others are not necessarily adapted to UK practice.

Questions about this self-study Essential course?
Is there a course to prepare for the exam?
There are some courses available although not specifically for the RCVS, with the exception of one (however we have received mixed reviews about the quality of that course).
Our self-study Essential does not contain all the content and material that you have to study for the RCVS Exam, but it does provide you with UK-specific content and resources for most of the study topics. However, right now we do not have any content on equine medicine and surgery.
Is your course free?
Yes, all of the content of this self-study Essential course is free to access.
Do I need to do the RCVS exam?
You need to take and pass the RCVS examination if you did NOT graduate from:
- An EAEVE-accredited university
- An AVMA-approved university
- Other universities from Commonwealth countries (Canada, Australia, South Africa)
Is the RCVS exam difficult?
In general, yes. The format of the exam changed in 2019. Therefore we can’t tell for sure about the average pass rate. Previously, the pass rate for the exam was low, anywhere between 10 to 45% depending on the year.
How many parts does the exam have?
The exam has three parts. You can learn more about the structure and requirements for the exam by joining the free RCVS exam self-study course. You will also gain access to another course that covers the actual exam format and procedures.
How much does the exam cost?
The fee for sitting the exam in 2021 was £2500.
