What year was schedule 3 amended?

• A. 1998
• B. 2002
• C. 2010
• D. 2015

Answer: (B)

Regulatory schedules are updated through formal amendments to the legislation that governs controlled substances. When a question asks the year Schedule 3 was amended, it’s testing your recall of when the official update occurred in the reference framework used in veterinary nursing practice. The correct year is 2002 because that is the amendment year specified in the standard regulatory materials for Schedule 3 in this context. The other years—1998, 2010, and 2015—do not reflect amendments to Schedule 3 in the same regulatory references, so they don’t fit the question as posed. Understanding this helps you see that the key point is knowing when the official amendment took place, not the broader history of all regulatory changes.
