I attend school on the border of two states and will attempt to be licensed in both. When I take the Naplex and MPJE will I have to take all 3 exams on the same day?

Naplex - 4 hours
Illinois MPJE - 2 hours
Missouri MPJE - 2 hours

NO.. I am not even sure thats possible cause they are usually scheduled at the same time. If remember correctly. They most important is to do your score transfer request initial when you apply for your naplex.. Had the similar situation I remember I took my naplex in feb and then my MPJE for MO 10 days later and then My KS MPJE 9 months later.. good luck

You can take them in any order you want, whenever you want, wherever you want (after you get your authorization to test, that is). I took my NAPLEX first then my MPJE a few weeks later. I liked doing it that way because I could study for the NAPLEX until I took it, then focus solely on the MPJE in the weeks leading up to that test. In my opinion, you don't need nearly as much time to study for the MPJE. Plus, if you need to retake, you can retake the MPJE after 30 days, whereas I believe it's a 90-day wait time to retake the NAPLEX (at least that's how it was when I was first licensed 3 years ago). Hope that helps!

Thanks Pharmacists! I agree it's probably best not to take the exams on the same day.
