The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Veterinary Medicine’s Jurisprudence Examination is an open book exam consisting of twenty (20) multiple choice questions. Be sure to read each question carefully.

The examination is based off of the Board’s licensing statutes found in the Massachusetts General Laws (G.L. c. 112, §§ 54-59), as well as the Board’s regulations (256 CMR §§1.00 - 10.00). Unofficial, courtesy copies of both the Board’s licensing statutes and regulations may be found on the Board’s website, www.mass.gov/dpl/boards/vt, under the section titled “Statutes and Regulations.” Please note that an official copy of the Board’s statutes and regulations may be purchased from the State Bookstore, Room 116, State House, Boston, MA 02133, (617) 727 2834.
