Three different kinds of organization are involved when someone becomes a pharmacist or a pharmacy technician, and they are easy to blur together.
Boards of pharmacy license pharmacists and set the rules of practice in their state. If you want to know whether you may practice, the board is the answer.
Exam bodies write and give the exams. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy develops the NAPLEX and the MPJE. The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board gives the PTCE. What each exam covers, how it is formatted, what it costs, and when it is offered are theirs to say, and they change. Check their pages for the current details; we will not repeat them here and risk going stale.
Preparation is what AccelaStudy AI Pharmacy is for. We prepare you for the exam. We do not give the exam, grant a license, or issue a certification.
What that means for the copy on this site
- No pass rates, score promises, or "guaranteed" anything.
- No suggestion that a board, an exam body, a school, or an employer has reviewed or endorsed us. None has.
- No medical, dosing, or legal advice. It is exam preparation.
- Exam names appear only to say which exam you are preparing for.
One more thing worth knowing
If you were planning to prepare for a pharmacy school admissions test, there is not one to take: the PCAT was retired on January 10, 2024.
