NAPLEX; The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination TM (NAPLEX®) is required in all Unites State of America jurisdictions

The North American Pharmacist Licensure ExaminationTM (NAPLEX®) is required in all US jurisdictions. NAPLEX, which is developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®), is a computer-adaptive test that assesses the candidate’s ability to apply knowledge gained in pharmacy school to practice situations.
The NAPLEX is a four-hour and fifteen-minute examination that consists of 185 five-option multiple-choice test questions. A majority of the questions on the NAPLEX are asked in a scenario-based format (ie, patient profiles with accompanying test questions). To properly analyze and answer the questions presented, you must refer to the information provided in the patient profile. Interspersed among these profile-based questions are “stand-alone questions,” whose answers are drawn solely from the information provided in the question.
The NAPLEX is administered daily at authorized Pearson VUE test centers throughout the United States. Information bulletins and application forms for the NAPLEX are available from the state boards of pharmacy. Effective May 10, 2010, NAPLEX candidates will pay a total registration fee of $485.
