NAPLEX® (NORTH AMERICAN PHARMACIST
LICENSURE EXAMINATIONT)
NAPLEX is developed by the National Association of Boards
of Pharmacy (NABP) and is utilized by the boards of pharmacy
as part of their assessment of competence to practice pharmacy.
The NAPLEX is a computer-adaptive examination that consists
of 185 multiple-choice test questions. Of these, 150 questions
will be used to calculate your test score. The remaining 35
items will serve as pretest questions, which will not affect
your NAPLEX score.
Pretest questions are administered to evaluate the item's
difficulty level for possible inclusion as a scored question
in future exams. These pretest questions are dispersed throughout
the exam and cannot be identified by the candidate. 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.
Other questions are answered solely from the information provided
in the question.
In cooperation with participating state boards of pharmacy,
the NAPLEX is uniformly developed, administered, and scored
under policies and procedures developed by NABP's Advisory
Committee on Examinations and approved by NABP's Executive
Committee. The content of the NAPLEX is approved by boards
of pharmacy, practitioners, and educators from around the
country through their service as NAPLEX Review Committee members,
item writers, and board of pharmacy representatives.

NAPLEX Competency
Statements:
NABP has developed the NAPLEX Competency Statements. The Competency
Statements summarize and outline the knowledge and skills
that you are expected to have acquired before you take the
NAPLEX, and that you are expected to be able to demonstrate
in answering the examination questions. All NAPLEX questions
are based on these Competency Statements, which are reviewed
and revised as necessary. A strong understanding of the Competency
Statements will aid in your preparation to take the NAPLEX.
