Questions before you buy
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Open the study dashboard free with no signup, or take any exam's free practice test. You only pay when you want the full question bank, timed simulations and every study tool.
What if I buy it and it's not for me?
Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.
What if I study and still fail?
That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your exam within 60 days. If you don't pass, send your result notice within 30 days and we refund 100%.
Is it a subscription?
Yes. Premium is A$217 a month per exam (about A$7.13 a day) and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel in two clicks from your account, and there's no minimum term. Most people study for 1 to 3 months. If you want a whole year for one exam, the yearly plan is A$1,953 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.
How long do I keep access?
For as long as your Premium subscription is active. Cancel any time from your account and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
Are these real exam questions?
No one can legally sell the actual exam questions. Ours are original questions written to match AVBC's published topic and species lists, the format and the new-graduate standard, with an explanation for every answer under Australian and New Zealand practice, so you can check our work.
Is the content up to date?
We check the exam page against AVBC's current Information for AVE Candidates and the AVBC website and show the date it was last checked. In November 2026 that included the two-paper format (80 + 80 questions in 2 and 2.5 hours), the cut-score of 500, the A$3,620 MCQ fee and the 16 April 2027 sitting.
Is this written for Australian and New Zealand practice?
Yes. Questions use Australasian diseases, toxins and farming systems, Australian and New Zealand biosecurity and drug rules (AUSVETPLAN, notifiable diseases, APVMA withholding periods), SI units and Australian spelling. That's the context the AVE examines, and the one most overseas review books leave out.
Are you affiliated with the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC)?
No. AVEVetExam is an independent exam-prep company, not affiliated with or endorsed by AVBC or any veterinary registration board. Australasian Veterinary Examination, AVE and AVBC are names of the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council, used only to describe the exam we help you prepare for.
The AVE MCQ
