How soon after graduation did you take the Naplex?

I don't know how soon you can take your NAPLEX after graduating, but did anyone just jump right in and take it as soon as possible to get it over with?

<1.5 months.
I didn't have any money and moved 1600 miles, so I needed to wait until I got a couple of checks under my belt (my pharmacy paid me as graduated intern until I passed, then gave me back pay) before I could afford to pay for it.

From what I've heard from the classes ahead of me....most people take it within 1-2months of graduating. It takes a few weeks to get your approval from the boards anyway...so it is not like you can just walk in and take it the same day you graduate.

I have heard of some students who wait a while to take the exam. If it was me, I would just want to get it done with as soon as I could.
