NAPLEX exam dates: booking your own day with Pearson

You pick the day yourself, by booking an appointment with Pearson once you’re eligible and have your Authorization to Test (ATT). Pearson delivers the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) for the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) at Pearson Professional Centers, so your NAPLEX exam dates come down to your eligibility period and the appointments you can get.

How do you pick your NAPLEX exam date?

The steps, from eligibility to a booked seat:

  1. Get eligibility from your board through your NABP e-Profile.
  2. Buy the exam in your e-Profile. NABP strongly recommends buying it promptly once you’re made eligible.
  3. Watch for your ATT by email. It has your name, your eligibility dates and the scheduling steps. If it doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder, then contact Pearson customer service.
  4. Create a Pearson web account. Pearson says the account may take up to 24 hours to activate, and you need the NABP ID number from your ATT.
  5. Book online on Pearson’s site, or by phone with Pearson customer service. With approved accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), you book by phone.
  6. Read Pearson’s confirmation email. It has your test center’s address and directions, and Pearson’s rescheduling and cancellation rules.

Your eligibility period sets the window

Eligibility periods are typically valid for 1 year, and NABP has no authority to extend them. Your ATT is valid for one testing session only.

Don’t leave it late. You can’t buy an exam with 10 or fewer business days left in your eligibility period, and if the period ends before you’ve booked an appointment, you lose all your fees and start the application again.

After a failed attempt, there’s a waiting period before you can book again. The results page has the rules.

Rescheduling with Pearson

Pearson’s NABP page says you can reschedule a test center appointment up to 2 business days before it. Pearson charges $50 for each reschedule, so choose the place, date and time carefully the first time. NABP’s own fees are on the cost page.

Law exam start dates by state

Where a board adopts the Uniform MPJE (UMPJE) in place of its own Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE), NABP lists the date the UMPJE became available there and the last date for that state’s MPJE. After that last date, the UMPJE is the only law exam offered in that state.

If you passed a state’s MPJE before its last date, NABP says most jurisdictions accept that score after the date, but check with the board. For a license transfer, Florida requires no law exam, and Montana and Ohio accept a passing UMPJE or MPJE score from any jurisdiction.
