MyNBCE describes Part I as a multiple-choice exam of 255 questions in 3 hours 26 minutes covering General Anatomy, Spinal Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Pathology and Microbiology; the portal mock uses 255 questions in 206 minutes. Part II covers General Diagnosis, Neuromusculoskeletal Diagnosis, Diagnostic Imaging, Principles of Chiropractic, Chiropractic Practice and Associated Clinical Sciences. Part III covers Case History, Physical Examination, Neuromusculoskeletal Examination, Diagnostic Imaging, Clinical Laboratory and Special Studies, Diagnosis or Clinical Impression, Chiropractic Techniques, Supportive Interventions, Case Management and Diagnostic Imaging Interpretation, with extended multiple-choice cases that have two responses. NBCE reports a scaled score for each part and the passing score is 375. Part III uses extended multiple-choice cases that the portal adapts to single-response questions, so the mock shows a percent score only as a rough self-check.
