The LBVM is happy to announce that the State Jurisprudence Exam can now be taken online! The Louisiana State Board Examination consists of twenty-six (26) questions designed to test an applicant’s familiarity with the laws and regulations governing the practice of veterinary medicine in the state of Louisiana. A passing score of 70% or more on the exam is required for licensure. Applicants can take the state board exam either: 1) in-person at the LBVM office OR 2) online through the AAVSB’s State and Provincial Assessments (SPA) program.

Because this is through a third-party vendor, there is an additional vendor fee of $55 that must be paid to AAVSB/TesTrac once you are approved to take the exam and receive your login details from AAVSB/TesTrac. The $55 fee would be paid when you are setting up to take the exam. If you have previously signed up for the in-person exam in July ’22 or August ’22 and would like to switch to taking it online, please just send an email to our office at admin@lsbvm.org and we can get you set up for the online exam.
