NAPLEX Practice Questions 2022 1.0

Candidates interested in practicing as pharmacists in the United States must first earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree from an accredited pharmacy college or school approved by the Accreditation Council of Pharmacy Education (ACPE). Additionally, they are required to pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX), along with meeting other state-specific licensure criteria.

The NAPLEX, developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), is designed to assess competency and suitability for pharmacy practice as determined by state boards of pharmacy. This computer-adaptive test offers a highly accurate evaluation of your knowledge and capabilities within the field of pharmacy.

The primary purpose of the NAPLEX is to provide state boards of pharmacy with a fair, unbiased examination that evaluates competence in key areas of pharmacy practice. By administering this test, state boards can effectively fulfill their responsibility of safeguarding public health and welfare.

The NAPLEX consists of 250 multiple-choice questions presented in a linear format. Your score will be based on 200 of these questions, while the remaining 50 are experimental and do not impact your final result.

It is important to note that the NAPLEX is not geared towards experienced pharmacists and does not incorporate advanced clinical pharmacy or technology aspects into its inquiries. Furthermore, it does not test candidates on every facet covered in pharmacy school.

A majority of the NAPLEX questions are scenario-based, requiring candidates to analyze patient profiles and respond accordingly. To answer these questions accurately, you must carefully consider the information provided in the patient profile. Other questions can be answered solely based on the information given.

In order to pass the NAPLEX, candidates must demonstrate their competency in three key areas:

1. Maximizing therapeutic outcomes by ensuring safe and effective pharmacotherapy (54% of the exam)
2. Ensuring safe and precise drug preparation and delivery (35% of the exam)
3. Providing healthcare information and promoting public health (11% of the exam)
