The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination is designed to test a candidate's knowledge, judgement and skills that an individual is expected to demonstrate as an entry level pharmacist.

The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) is a computer-adaptive test used by the state boards of pharmacy as part of their assessment of a candidate's competence to practice pharmacy. It consists of 185 multiple-choice test questions. Of these, 150 questions will be used to calculate your test score while the other 35 items are pretest questions, which will not affect your NAPLEX score. The questions cover all aspects of pharmacy, with a majority of the questions asked in a scenario-based format (ie, patient profiles with accompanying test questions). This exam is administered three times per year - January, June and October - at specific computer centers across the country.

Many NAPLEX questions refer to specific patient profiles, so called "scenario" questions. These questions  require both a fundamental knowledge of pharmacy as well as the ability to interpret patient information. Most other questions are standard, so-called "stand-alone" multiple-choice items in which a question is asked and answer choices are offered but no patient profiles are given.
The NAPLEX follows the one-best-answer rule, in which several choices may be plausible, but only one answer choice is the best. You will encounter both single-answer and combined-response questions. In single-answer questions, you must choose the best option for completing a statement or answering a question. In combined-response questions, you must choose among several combinations of answer components.
