The CMAR Reference List includes readings that provide in-depth coverage of the topics covered by the Animal Resources Exam. The CMAR Reference List may be altered and expanded by the CMAR Committee at any time without notice. The certification test item data bank is not static; new questions are added on a continual basis and this list is adjusted as needed.

Please note that we have updated the Study Resources, with The AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals, 2020 Edition and will be effective March 15, 2021 on all AR Exams.

Familiarity with the publications listed does not guarantee that an individual will pass the Animal Resources Exam.
