I took both my NAPLEX and CPJE and have yet to hear back for CPJE. But there is an option to request duplicate score report on PSI's website. If you request it, will they send you the report? or you still have to wait for the california board?

NAPLEX date: 07/08
NAPLEX Result: 07/23

CPJE date: 07/14
CPJE Result: STILL WAITING
 
Also, does the delay in receiving the CPJE score mean that you may have tanked the test? Is there an orange button theory for CPJE?
 
Nope. NAPLEX is a national test with national standards, and the grading is done by people who understand that you have a life to get on with. CPJE is graded by the State Board of Pharmacy.

If you're lucky, there's not an unannounced QA going on and you'll find out sometime before the end of August.
 
CPJE 7/15--> status still waiting (called board of pharmacy 8/10, so result yet)

did anyone take it at the same time n receive their result?
 
A friend of mine took her CPJE on 07/11 and got her results on 08/05. I took mine on 07/28 and haven't heard back yet. I stalked the threads from last year and it looks like July 2014 test takers got their results around 08/12 - 08/14 so maybe it's just a matter of several days for all of us...
 
So seems like there was a cut-off somewhere between 7/11~7/15, and anything later should come out anytime soon??
I took mine on 7/30, still nothing.
So anxious since I know I missed more than 10 questions already...

Let's keep posting!
 
7/25 -- still waiting as well. I appreciate the posts, everyone. Reminds me I'm not the only one anxiously waiting!

I took my CPJE July 30 and still anxiously waiting for the results. From stalking the previous year's threads it looks like if you take it by the end of July, you're not stuck in the QA process? Does anyone know anything about this?

I got my results today, I'm in Central CA. Keep looking out for the mail!! Good luck to everyone!
 
I got my results today after 4 weeks of horrible waiting. Scored 82 🙂
Good luck everyone!
 
For the recent takers could you please share your experience and if any one has the Weissman book I'm looking to buy!

I took my exam 07/28 and received my results today! Just keep in mind SoCal folks get their results a day or two later than those residing up North. Hope everyone here passed, too!! :soexcited:
 
Hello to all and great job to those who passed the CPJE! I am really anxious to receive my results. How did you all feel after the exam? I still feel like I missed a few and am praying that I pass this exam. It feels like there is no way one can be ever ready for this test! :/
 
well, afterall, i do feel like I conquered b/c I passed CPJE! Took my exam on 7/27. Good luck everyone...just stay at it & study hard 🙂

Hi there!
If you do a CPJE search around the forum, there are a lot of great advices.
What I did was going through RxPrep once. You should know all the therapeutics before you take CPJE. It's not a lot of law, at least for me (maybe around 20%), very little (and very very simple math, we're talking amoxicillin dispense how many ml type questions).

The therapeutics can be anything just like the NAPLEX. There were more HIV and ID proportion wise on the CPJE I feel like. Medication safety is huge. Make sure you know high-risk meds and reporting/med use improvement procedures (covered in RxPrep, I'd think other resources have it too). Know therapeutic interchange for major classes of meds (ACE-I, ARB, beta blockers, abx, etc). There were a few compatibilities questions (NS vs. D5W, light-sensitive, etc) but honestly I just couldn't memorize them all and probably got most of them wrong. I don't think they're make or break but if you have the time to get to memorize them, they're easy points.

I took the CPJE before the NAPLEX because I was worried about getting stuck in QA, so I came out feeling pretty horrible because it was my first major exam. In retrospect I don't think the CPJE was harder content-wise, but the passing rate is lower probably because the curving/cut off is less lenient.

If you're prepared for the NAPLEX, went over all your therapeutics plus the additional topics mentioned above then you should be OK. I bought RxPrep CPJE course and thought it was helpuful, not so much the videos but more for the quizzes; they help you identify your areas of weakness. Do do the sample test posted on the board's website, the format is the same. Again I wouldn't dwell too much on the law. Go over it the week before and you should be OK. Good luck!!!

Thank you!!! Very much appreciated! :highfive:
 
To all test takers......
I took my test 7/18.....and I did not pass.
My eligibility expires 10/22
I just called Psi and they say it's one attempt per eligibility. Is that true?
I thought I could retest in 91 days.
Please provide some input.

You have to wait 3 months to retest. from 7/18-10/22, that looks about 3 months.
 
Thanks trap and trunks. So that means another 260$?.
I don't think I have the money to do it. I feel like I wasted time and money on the first attempt.
 
Has anyone gotten their pharmacist licensed posted on the board website? Took CPJE 7/15.. Passed 8/13... Submitted to board of pharmacy same day in person. No result yet 🙁.. Check cashed 8/21
 
Just received my NAPLEX score yesterday and wanted to give an update to those who were wondering how the CPJE and NAPLEX compare (because I was) - I took the CPJE 2 weeks before the NAPLEX because I was worried about QA (I have to be licensed by a certain date). I went over all the clinical topics, except for statistics, calculations, and genomics, for the CPJE.

My CPJE score was 83, and my NAPLEX score was 124. My pre-NAPLEX score was 104 3 days before the exam. After the CPJE, I only studied for about an extra 4 days for the NAPLEX and totally didn't review oncology or HIV the second round (so whatever I remembered for the CPJE is what I remembered for the NAPLEX). However, I do believe that the NAPLEX has so much more math than the CPJE, and math is what I've always been comfortable with.

I think that if you're strong in therapeutics but not in math, you won't find such a big discrepancy between the CPJE and NAPLEX score. In the end, they're not comparable, and don't be discouraged to take the CPJE if your NAPLEX score wasn't what you hoped for.

Wishing all those who are still waiting lots of luck, relax, everything will be OK in the end!
