March 2012 Rules and Regulations
Registration Requirements:
- You may not bring any personal items, including notes or reference materials of any kind, electronic devices, purses, and backpacks, to the test site. The only items you will be allowed to bring into the testing area are your identification and the key to your car. (Remote keyless entry devices for vehicles are not allowed.)
- NBCE personnel will not be responsible for your personal items. No lockers or other storage facilities will be available at the test site.
- At registration, you must show a government-issued picture ID, such as a driver’s license, as well as a secondary ID. You will not be admitted into the testing area without proper ID.
- Upon verification of your identity, you will be given an NBCE ID badge. You must wear this badge at all times while at the test site and return it at the end of your last examination.
- You may be subject to individual security screening procedures, including the use of metal detection devices. If you refuse to submit to security screening, you may be denied entrance to or be expelled from the testing area.
Disqualification:
You may be disqualified from taking an examination or receiving scores if the NBCE or its representative concludes any of the following.
- Any statement or information contained in your application is false or misleading.
- You take an examination for another person or another person takes an examination in your place.
- You have cheated, based either upon observation or statistical analyses of answer sheets.
- You have engaged in any act or conduct that has jeopardized or could jeopardize the security or integrity of NBCE examinations, including, but not limited to, copying or reproducing the examination or any portion of the examination in any way, and/or memorizing questions and answers for possible disclosure to any other person at any time.
- You have engaged in any other conduct that might invalidate the examination results, including, but not limited to, removing items from the testing room.
- You have engaged in any behavior that is deemed to be disruptive, offensive or inappropriate in any way to the testing environment.
The NBCE may contact school officials and annotate transcripts of examinees whose conduct is deemed inappropriate or disruptive to the testing process.
Copyright Notice:
All NBCE examinations and all questions contained therein are copyright protected. You could be found guilty of violating federal copyright laws if you attempt to record or transmit, in any manner, any portion of the NBCE examination for use by another party. Many states could view such action as justification for denying a candidate a license to practice chiropractic. Implication could result in disqualification or ineligibility for an NBCE Certificate of Attainment.
Licensure Requirements:
Each state imposes unique requirements for licensure. Please contact the licensing authority in the state(s) in which you wish to practice for current information on licensure requirements and privileges afforded to those who hold the NBCE certificate, as well as to those who successfully complete the Physiotherapy or Acupuncture Examination.
Score Reporting:
Scores will be available online at https://mynbce.nbce.org six weeks after the examination and mailed to examinees within seven weeks of the examination. The only way to view scores online is to create a MyNBCE account. Transcripts will be available for mailing to state boards within eight weeks of the examination, provided your written transcript request is received in the NBCE offices two weeks before the projected mailing.
