:luck: Hi All!
I accepted a job offer and I have to be licensed within 4 months of graduation. I feel very unprepared for the exam, in fact, the soonest I think I will be ready is in a month! I just don't want to rush into it, fail it, then have to wait 90 days, and I definitely will not be able to be licensed within 4 months of graduation if that happens.... :(
How about you guys? When are you taking your exams?
Anyway, Good Luck with everything guys! :biglove:

I graduated on May 5th and started working on May 19th. They gave me 3 months from my start date to pass the boards. I will be testing sometime this month (June). The Board of Pharmacy informed me that my application was complete this week. I expect that I will receive my authorization to test before the end of the month.
I study for about an hour on work days. When I have a day off during the week, I spend it studying. I didn't get serious about studying until this week. Right now, I'm working on calculations.

In Maryland, we're allowed to take NAPLEX and MPJE 6 months before graduation. It's very useful for those who take it early and fail to still get to retake it 1 or 3 months later. Thus many of us get our license 1-2 weeks after graduation after passing those exams.

That would have been awesome to have the option to take the exams before graduation. We had law class our last semester of third year and I thought it would have been nice to just go take the MPJE as the final. It would be better than trying to retain it all during a year of rotations.
As for me, I just got my ATT Monday, and I'm going to take the Naplex and MPJE next week. I studied off an on throughout the spring semester and after graduation I studied about 2 hours a day. With 1 week to go I'm putting in about 6 hours a day. I think a month would be plenty of time to get ready for your exams.

That sounds like a great option! I wish they allowed us to do that here.
