Fast Facts About the IBCLC Exam
Knowing what to expect on test day can help. Here’s the run-down:
You will answer 175 computer-based questions.
The exam will have two parts.
Most of the questions in Part Two will be associated with an image (a photograph, drawing, or chart).
You will have four hours to complete the exam.
Within each part, you will be able to go back and review questions you have already answered. However, once you move on to Part Two, you will not be able to go back to Part One.
There are no penalties for wrong answers, so it’s best to answer every question.
Typically, between 70 and 80 percent of first-time test takers pass the exam!
Testimonials
Purchasing the IBCLC exam review course from LER was well worth the money. It prepared me adequately for taking the real examination. The answers were thoroughly explained with references. Invest in this product, you will not be disappointed!
–Aira Jae E., MPH, CBS, Georgia
I took the exam prep course through LER and it was super helpful. I loved the short review videos and the practice questions. Very comparable to the official practice test for $50 from IBLCE. Good value and I feel so much more prepared!
–Mary H., CBS, BS Ed in Communication Disorders, Utah
The best part of LER’s exam prep course was the ability to take timed practice tests repeatedly. I particularly appreciated the written conversations within QBank from fellow students challenging the questions/answers and the LER staff taking the time to thoughtfully respond. I learned so much from those exchanges, it made it feel more like a classroom setting and that I was not alone struggling with why an answer was correct.
–Donna R., MA, OTR, C-ELBW, NTMTC, CBS, New Jersey
The LER IBCLC Exam Review Enriched course has made me feel very confident in taking my IBCLC exam. The recorded lectures and Qbank are invaluable; I find myself consistently coming back to them throughout my studies. I feel this course was the most value for my money as I prepare and study.
–Stephanie W., BA in Public Communications, CBS, Virginia
I took the LER Lactation Consultant Training Program (LCTP) and Exam Review Enriched. The recorded lectures by knowledgeable presenters covered many of the topics covered on the exam. The most helpful was the exam review which allowed me to create custom practice tests with thorough explanations. This helped me build confidence in thinking through lactation scenarios and answering questions in a similar format to the actual test. I highly recommend these courses to those studying for the IBCLC exam.
–Leslie M., BSN, RN, RNC-NIC, CBS
The content challenged me, and I gained invaluable knowledge with the education I received through LER. Even though the content is placed on an asynchronous platform, I was not alone on my journey. Every lecturer offered their contact information if I needed help or more information regarding the class.
