Just to let you know, they do check, sure the some people do slip through the cracks but I personally know someone that got audited and could not take the test because all they did was retail. Also, why waste your money on this if you're not working a "clinical" hospital job. You really think that your CV with BCPS and years of retail experience with zero hospital experience will get you any kind of job, especially in this tight job market. You can get all the titles that you want but the experience is way more expensive. I'll tell you also that I would question someone's integrity if they took an exam they didn't qualify for. Pharmacist with easy access to drugs are supposed to have high ethics and taking a test by gaming the system. People can and do figure it out. If you must get a certification while at retail, get the CGP then, only requirement is 2 years licensed and you don't throw up red flags nor do you waste close to $1000 on something that will not benefit you.
