Tools & Resources to Help YOU Help Students Prepare for Part IV

Ensure your Students Know How to BEST Plan and Prepare for their Part IV Exam


We want to remind you about the custom webpage - The Student Communication Toolkit - that includes information, tools, and assets meant to assist college leadership in communicating NBCE Part IV Exam logistics, timelines, and preparation resources with their students. Its content not only further informs you and your colleagues, it also equips you with knowledge you can use to fully inform your students as you support them in their NBCE exam journey.


After the completion of the final on-site administration of the Part IV Exam last weekend, our focus on the Part IV transition has shifted to ensuring examinees have all the resources and preparation tools they need to navigate the timing of Part IV applications and their travel to Colorado.


Your support and partnership is essential in sharing information directly with students. We invite you to partner with us to ensure students have every resource they need to navigate the process as smoothly as possible.
