Common questions

How many questions are on the NAPLEX?

The NAPLEX has 225 questions in 6 hours. 200 are scored and 25 are unscored pretest questions mixed in, and you cannot tell which is which. You may take two optional 10-minute breaks, and the full appointment is 6 hours 45 minutes.

What score do you need to pass the NAPLEX?

NABP reports the NAPLEX as pass or fail only; you do not receive a scaled score. A panel of pharmacists sets the passing standard, and it is the same ability level for every administration. Our mock marks 75% correct as a practice target.

What types of questions are on the NAPLEX?

Most questions are scenario-based and send you to a patient profile or medical record; the rest stand alone. NABP’s sample items show three formats: multiple-choice with four options, multiple-response (select all that apply) and fill-in-the-blank numeric answers for calculations. An on-screen scientific calculator is provided.

What is on the NAPLEX in 2026?

The content outline effective May 1, 2025 has five domains: Foundational Knowledge for Pharmacy Practice (25%), Medication Use Process (25%), Person-Centered Assessment and Treatment Planning (40%), Professional Practice (5%) and Pharmacy Management and Leadership (5%).

How much does the NAPLEX cost?

NABP charges a $100 eligibility application fee and a $520 exam fee. Fifteen jurisdictions add an $85 eligibility processing fee, and a score transfer costs $105 per jurisdiction.

How many times can you take the NAPLEX?

After a failed attempt you wait 45 days before you can schedule again (longer in some jurisdictions). You get 3 attempts in a 12-month period and 5 attempts in total unless a board of pharmacy decides otherwise. Each retake means a new $100 application and a new $520 exam fee.

What is the NAPLEX pass rate?

In 2025, 86.8% of graduates of U.S. pharmacy programs passed on their first attempt (9,869 candidates), according to NABP data published by Pacific University. NABP gave 16,357 NAPLEX administrations in 2024.

Are these NAPLEX practice questions free?

The five-question sample on this page needs no account, and every drill has a free first attempt with a free account. The full 225-question timed exam and unlimited drills are part of the pharmacist exam practice pass, which also covers the MPJE.
