Sample Veterinary Assistant practice questions

These sample items mirror the domains in the timed Veterinary Assistant mock. Correct answers and explanations unlock inside the practice session.

    A 3-day-old puppy is found cold and weak away from its mother. Its owner wants to feed it milk replacer right away. What should be done first?

    • A. Give water by syringe to rehydrate it before warming
    • B. Feed milk replacer by bottle first to give it energy
    • C. Place it directly on a heating pad set to high

    • C. Refrigerate it, but do not freeze it
    • D. Place it in the cremation bag and send it out
  3. Sample 3

    A veterinary assistant opens a kennel run to bring a German shepherd to treatment. The dog stands stiff with its weight shifted back, tail tucked, ears pinned, lips pulled back and the whites of its eyes showing. What should the assistant do?

    • A. Stay outside the run, turn sideways, avoid eye contact, and alert the veterinarian before any handling
    • B. Step in calmly, kneel facing the dog, and hold out the back of a hand for it to sniff before leashing
    • C. Read the tucked tail as submission and slip a lead over the head quickly before the dog changes its mind
    • D. Walk straight in speaking firmly and confidently so the dog understands who is in control of the situation
  4. Sample 4

    A veterinary assistant dilutes a concentrated disinfectant into spray bottles that the whole team will use in exam rooms. What does OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard require for those bottles?

    • A. Leave them unlabeled because they hold a diluted form of a labeled product
    • B. Label each with the product name and hazards, and keep its SDS accessible

    • D. Label the contents just when the dilution is stronger than the label rate
  5. Sample 5

    A nervous dog in the lobby backs away from its owner and is close to slipping out of its flat collar. What should the veterinary assistant do?

    • A. Tighten the flat collar by three holes so it cannot slip over the head

    • C. Ask the owner to let go so the dog can calm down on its own
    • D. Add a slip lead placed high behind the ears as a backup

What is the Veterinary Assistant exam?

The NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) designation is for graduates of a NAVTA-approved veterinary assistant program who pass the proprietary AVA exam administered through VetMedTeam. It covers restraint, nursing support, hospital procedures, pharmacy/office themes, and safety — under veterinary supervision. It is not the VTNE (veterinary technician national exam).

Administered by: NAVTA (exam platform: VetMedTeam) (official site ↗)

Official format: Official AVA exam (VetMedTeam): typically 100 multiple-choice questions / 150 minutes / 75% pass / $100 per attempt; requires a NAVTA-approved program code and an exam mentor/proctor. UniPrep’s check is a shorter 60Q / 75 min diagnostic (free 25-question version) — not a full-length AVA form.
