Frequently Asked Questions

This is a tough question to answer because what is deemed hard is subjective. If one particular domain is not familiar to you, for example dentistry, then it is likely that you would consider this domain challenging. If you are very familiar with emergency and critical care it is likely that you would do well with that particular domain. Passing the VTNE will be about preparation and strategy. FIDO will assist you in learning both the material and strategies behind passing the VTNE.

Every student's journey will be different based on experience and mastery of material in the 9 domains that make up the VTNE. It is important that you find a study routine that works for you as an individual, the goal is to be confident going into your exam and practice questions are a great tool for this. FIDO recommends that you continue to study until you are consistently scoring in your goal range on both practice tests and single domain quizzes.

The VTNE is scored on a scale of 200 to 800 with a passing score of 425. The questions are not scored on the typical point basis but are instead weighted based on the difficulty of the questions. Therefore, some tests will be considered more difficult than others, but the questions will be weighted more heavily. This makes for a comparable score between the easier and more difficult tests.
