  • Do not confuse AVA with VTNE (AAVSB veterinary technician national exam).

  • Official AVA: typically 100 questions / 150 minutes / 75% / $100 — verify at VetMedTeam enrollment.
  • Eligibility: graduate of a NAVTA-approved VA program + program code + exam mentor.
  • UniPrep2Go’s check is a shorter 60-question / 75-minute diagnostic (free 25-question version) — not a full-length AVA form.

Veterinary Assistant study guide

What is inside

Planned **60** flashcards across animal restraint, nursing assist, hospital procedures, and safety & zoonosis — the same four topic buckets as the free readiness check. Mapped to NAVTA AVA-style assistant themes (NAVTA does not publish domain weights).

Plan with the free veterinary assistant mock (live now)

**Start:** Take the [60-question Veterinary Assistant readiness check (free 25-question version)](/mock-exams/veterinary-assistant-readiness-check) (75 minutes / 70% diagnostic). **Then:** Use your NAVTA-approved program materials and VetMedTeam practice options. **When Anki ships:** 15–20 cards/day on the weakest topic only.

Official NAVTA AVA via VetMedTeam: typically **100 questions / 150 minutes / 75% / $100** for graduates of a NAVTA-approved program. Our mock is a shorter diagnostic — not a full-length AVA form. **Not the VTNE** (veterinary technician).

Pitfalls this deck targets (when live)

Candidates treat a 60Q free check as the full AVA form, skip approved-program eligibility, or confuse AVA with VTNE technician prep.

What this does not replace

NAVTA-approved program completion, VetMedTeam enrollment, or an exam mentor/proctor. Anki is **planned** on UniPrep — not a live Gumroad SKU yet. Independent prep — not NAVTA/VetMedTeam material.
