What Does the NAPLEX Look Like?

The 185-question exam tests a prospective pharmacist’s ability to
*** measure pharmacotherapy and therapeutic outcomes
*** prepare and dispense medications
*** implement and evaluate information for optimal health care

As a computer-based exam, the NAPLEX uses adaptive technology to deliver selected-response and constructed-response questions, many of which are asked in a scenario-based format. (For example, a patient profile is provided, and you must answer a series of questions related to the profile.)
