BCSE and vet exam study group on Telegram: meet other candidates
Updated 20 October 2026
Studying alone is hard, especially for an exam as broad as the BCSE. The VetQ Telegram group is a friendly place to meet other candidates preparing for the BCSE, the NAVLE and the RCVS exam, ask questions and keep each other going.
What you can do in the group
- Ask other candidates how they plan their weeks.
- Find a study partner in your time zone.
- Share study tips, schedules and good free resources.
- Hear when new guides and features are added.
- Celebrate when someone passes, and encourage anyone who needs a retake.
Group rules
- Be kind and respectful. Nobody is judged for a low practice score.
- No selling and no advertising, including private messages to members.
- Do not share or ask for leaked exam papers or copyrighted material. Exam bodies keep live questions confidential.
- Do not give clinical advice about real patients.
- Admins remove anyone who breaks these rules. If someone messages you privately to sell something, tell an admin straight away.
Staying safe in any study group
- Be careful with anyone who contacts you privately offering "real" or "leaked" questions or a guaranteed pass. These offers are often scams or unreliable.
- Never send money to a stranger for exam material.
- Ask where any study resource comes from before you pay for it.
