Description

The NBCE E&B Examination consists of 100 questions, with 50 devoted to Ethics issues and 50 devoted to Boundary issues.

The E&B Examination includes clinical case presentations requiring that the examinee demonstrate the appropriate clinical understanding and judgment required in unsupervised general chiropractic practice.

The E&B Examination requires 90 minutes of test administration time. Test appointments are scheduled for two hours to allow time for an optional, brief tutorial and a post-examination survey.

The NBCE recommends a passing score of 375 for the E&B Examination. This recommended passing score is based on input by a test committee of state licensing agency members; however, individual licensing authorities may recognize either a higher or lower passing score than the NBCE recommended passing score. Therefore, examinees should contact the licensing agency in the state in which they intend to practice for E&B score requirements and utilization.
