I'm set to take my NAPLEX in October but it looks like NABP is changing the NAPLEX blueprint effective 11/1/2015. I was wondering if anyone knows if the new test will be easier or if I should stick to my original date?

No good can come of waiting. It has a very high pass rate as it is, so chances are any change will make it harder. Besides, all study materials are based off of how they currently test. Although the material will be the same, I'm assuming test prep books that are currently printed are going to ask similar question styles to the current test. Plus why do you want to delay your license and put off your earning potential?

The pass rates always drop a bit after they change the Naplex. This is the smaller change compared to what is coming in next few years. They are adding a new section on communication skills and P-3s will be required to take a test but so far, it will not count for anything.

I just ask because the old (current) version has 3 sections while the new one has 2 and I'm curious to see if they omitted something that wont be tested anymore.
