Study Materials & Practice Tapes can be ordered from NVRA to help you prepare for testing.

Reminder:  A passing score on the Written Knowledge Test is valid for a period of three years. If you held a passing score on the written test as of December 1, 2007, that score will expire on December 1, 2010,* and you must retake the written test in order to achieve your CVR. However, passing scores on any segment of the dictation skills test do not expire.   Any current or future score of 90 or above on the CVR written test will be CM qualified with no expiration.
