Does anyone have any experience or know of someone who has recently taken the Massachusetts MPJE? I'm having trouble finding study material and am wondering what people have used to study? Thanks in advance for any help!
HI. I am also in the same boat, cannot find a nice/concise document or book to study. It seems like the bulletin that the board posts (with all the links) is the best way to study. I also went ahead and bought the federal book from RXPrep just for the hell of it. Hoping working in MA for 3 years as an intern will be enough to pass!! I did also find some quizlets on google that have been helpful. Good luck!!
Thanks so much for your input! I've tried scouring the internet for any help and I can't find anything except the bulletin on the board website as well. Good to know I'm not the only one having trouble finding more info and I'll definitely check out the quizlets! Good luck studying as well!!
Hi, I am going to take exam in 1 week, can u plz tell me which links on the bulletin are most important and which study materials did u followI actually took the exam this past Monday and found it quite difficult actually. The law questions (the way they ask them) are very specific. For example, you can't just know that you keep prescription records for 2 years, you have to know 2 years from which date. Which is simple I would think, but in the setting of the exam I was completely thrown off. I also had lots of compounding questions, but word on the street is that they could possibly be drafting another CMR so those may be test questions. All of the questions are very "what if" situational, and I had a lot of select all that apply questions (which options through G!), insane! Anyways let me know if you have anymore questions and I can try and tell you which links on the bulletin are most important. I simply could not read all of them because it is exhausting and not easy to stare at a long legislation law trying to decipher it. Good luck!

Thank u so much for your detailed answer, I bought mass package from bop which focuses on 247 and 105 and federal from Reiss and hall. Apart from that what are the links I should study.when I go through the links they are there is soooo much information and so many inner links. I am totally confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.MA board of pharmacy put out a letter for
That will give you convenient links to all the potential material on the MPJE-MA.
Focus on 247 CMR, DEA Pharmacist's manual, MA BOP policies/advisories. The policies and advisories seem like a lot to read, but they are 3 pages each at most and really clarify some regulations and in some cases, are repetitive enough that you feel like, "alright alright, I got it." There's no excuse to not reading the 247 CMR, it is the meat and bones of the MPJE-MA and it will directly affect your practice in MA in many ways.
105 CMR is good to know - look at what MA defines as "mid-level practitioners" who can prescribe. What can they prescribe? In what situations can they have certain controlled substances?
MGL c94 is good to read, as dry as it is. It overlaps with the federal law on some concepts, but there are MA-specific requirements in this section you should know such as who to report to when something happens with a controlled substance.
I used RXprep MPJE for the federal law review and found it helpful.
No excuse to not knowing what adulteration and misbranding means. They've got their separate links in that letter, and are specific MPJE-tested points according to the NAPLEX/MPJE bulletin. It's going to come up, like it or not.
