NAVLE October–November 2026 Results: Release Date and How to Check

The October–November 2026 NAVLE window ran from October 12 to November 14, 2026. ICVA's estimated score release for this window is December 14–25, 2026, about four to five weeks after the window closed. Every candidate in the window receives results in that same release, whether they tested in the first week of October or on the last day. This was also the first window to use the new twelve-block format.

ICVA's advice to start checking your emailFrom about four weeks after the window closes (mid-December)
Approximate score releaseDecember 14–25, 2026
March 2027 window application periodDecember 1, 2026 – January 7, 2027
March 2027 testing datesMarch 1–20, 2027

The release period falls in the run-up to the holidays. ICVA gives a range rather than a single day, so a score that has not arrived on December 14 is not a sign of a problem.

How You Will Receive Your Score

  1. You receive an email with instructions for accessing your NAVLE Score Report.
  2. The report is on NBME's secure online portal (MyNBME). Log in there, not to Prometric.
  3. Download the PDF and keep it. A duplicate from ICVA costs $25 and cannot be sent to a licensing board.

Your score also goes, at no extra cost, to the AAVSB and to the licensing board that approved you to test. To report it to any other state or province, request a transfer through the AAVSB (VAULT Transfer Services online, or 1-877-698-8482). ICVA does not handle transfers.
