Pharmacy Naplex School Rating Passing Ranking

NAPLEX

Naplex (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) is utilized by the state boards of pharmacy as part of their assessment of competence to practice pharmacy in its respective state.

  • 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 examinations. These pretest questions are dispersed throughout the examination and cannot be identified by the candidate.
  • The pool of questions that makes up the NAPLEX does not differ based on the state in which a candidate is seeking licensure.
  • Example of the percentage score .9921 = 99.21%
