The next administration of the NPLEX Part I – Biomedical Science Examination will be Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and the NPLEX Part II – Clinical Science Examinations will be administered Tuesday-Friday, February 3-6, 2026. The application period for the February 2026 NPLEX will be open October 1-December 1, 2025. See Important Dates.

Beginning in August 2026, the NPLEX will be administered in person at Prometric testing centers! With hundreds of locations, it will be easier than ever to find a site near you. NABNE will not be offering online examinations or virtual proctoring. More details coming in early 2026! (see New NPLEX Testing Locations)

Your unofficial August 2025 NPLEX results (Pass/Fail only) will be posted to the dashboard of your online Profile on October 1st. You will be notified by email when your result can be viewed online.

NABNE will make every attempt to ensure that the exam result posted online is correct; however, because the implementation of this feature requires manual transfer of data (which introduces the possibility of human error), NABNE cannot guarantee that the information posted online is accurate. NABNE suggests that you do not make any decisions based on these results.

An official hard copy of your August 2025 NPLEX results will be mailed to you on October 2nd. If you have not reported a change of address to NABNE before September 29th, be sure that you have made arrangements to have your mail forwarded to your new address. NABNE will not be resending results by mail before October 13th.

Every answer sheet used for an NPLEX examination is scanned by a state-of-the-art optical mark reader, and errors are reviewed by the scanning operator. The possibility of a scanning error is negligible. However, you may request a manual scoring from the most recent exam administration to verify that the answers you marked on your answer sheet(s) correctly match the answers recorded by the scanner. You will be notified of the results of this manual scoring, however, you will not receive additional information regarding your exam results (e.g., numerical scores, specific questions answered incorrectly, etc.).

If you would like to receive a Manual scoring, your request and payment must be made online no later than April 30th (for an examination you take in February) and no later than October 31st (for an examination you take in August).  The Manual Scoring Fee of US$50 for the Part I – Biomedical Science Examination, US$70 for the Part II – Core Clinical Science Examination, and US$40 for each Part II – Clinical Elective Examination must be paid using a debit or credit card.

Prior to the NPLEX administration, NABNE sends a transcript of your previous NPLEX results to the single regulatory authority you selected on your application and, after they become available, sends the report of your results from the current NPLEX administration to the same regulatory authority.

Requests to have transcripts sent to additional regulatory authorities should be submitted after your results from the current NPLEX administration become available. This will ensure that the transcript NABNE sends will include the results you achieved for both your Part I – Biomedical Science, Part II – Core Clinical Science, and any Part II – Clinical Elective Examinations you have taken.

Submit your request and US$30 payment via the Transcript Request form. Transcript requests are typically processed by NABNE within three to five (3-5) business days of receipt.

An official transcript of NPLEX exam results must be sent directly from NABNE to a regulatory authority or other entity. A transcript requested to be sent directly to you is considered unofficial and will be noted as such.
