Does anyone from a NC Pharmacy school have any useful study materials for the MPJE? Or should I just read the dull long list of statutes. :p I would appreciate it.

Definitely review the FAQs on the NCBOP website. I would also recommend taking Thomas Thutt's 2 day review course. He gives you a notebook with notes in powerpoint format and goes over the main points that the NCBOP wants you to know to pass. The course is kind of expensive (I believe it was $200), but I passed the MPJE 2 weeks later with 2 days of review. I took the course at UNC's main campus, but if you don't live in NC, I believe he also does online courses.

Is he still doing this? If so, do you have a link or anything to register and schedule this? I can't seem to find any information on it. Thank you!

Damn, I kind of ignored SDN once I didn't get a reply to this post. I ended up just reading all the Rules and Laws from the Board website. I went into the exam prepared, but ended up leaving thinking I failed. There were so many questions that weren't even discussed in any of the study materials that I had. Hopefully I passed. Otherwise, I'll take your suggestions and probably do Dr Thutts class. I'm really hoping I don't have to do this though.

It's said that whenever you leave that exam, you will feel that way regardless of how you do. I recently took it and feel the same. I hope they weighted the easy questions a hell of a lot more than the ones I had no clue.

Does anyone have more information about this course with Thomas Thutt, in class or online?

Thutt's materials aren't 100% needed. There is some information within his lecture/notes that are completely incorrect when compared to the NC Rules/Statues. He's a good person and easy to listen to, but I'm not 100% sure that the class is worth the $235 he charges.

I would take FarmTheMine's advice. I took mine last year and I'm sure they have changed it quite a bit. I have heard the FAQs on the website (especially the recent updates) are still important to read, but FarmTheMine would know better than I would. Just tried to share my experience.

I took Thutt's class on a Wed/Thur, studied NAPLEX stuff Friday, studied Thutt's binder & read the FAQ twice and skimmed the Laws/Rules on the NCBOP website once over the weekend, worked 12-hour shifts (whoops, I suck at scheduling) on Mon/Tues then took the MPJE on Wednesday and got an 85. I think if you go to the class, pay attention, and ask questions/clarify what you don't understand, it's totally worth the money. Just my opinion though!

Just something on this, on the first day of the review, I heard a friend flip through the binder we received and heard him mention that it is essentially the exact same thing as 3-4 years ago that he got from a friend. Just thought I'd mention that since your comment reminded me of it.

I made promise to myself when I took NC MPJE last Saturday that if I pass I am going to post my experience here.
My results came today, and I passed MPJE.
I pretty much prayed throughout the exam. There were many K-type questions and direct questions, I had very few select all type questions. Take your time reading questions and do not over analyze the question, sometimes the questions are very straight forward, but they are being over analyzed, I tend to do that thats why I read questions twice.
Sources to prepare: I read FAQs (on NCBOP) twice and read notes that my school provided on laws /rules about 3 times and didn't take Thutt's class.
Thank you guys for posting your experience they were very helpful.

Recently moved here from Alabama. Looking for some materials to help me with NC pharmacy Law. I am using the federal review but wanted some insight on NC law. I am also reading thru the FAQs but wondering if there are some power points/words documents that helped you pass. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. Need some notes outlining important laws for the exam. Does anyone have most recent notes from a NC college that might help?

I'm licensed out of state and will be moving to NC soon. I'm nervous about the MPJE and any helpful notes anyone has from school or classes would be really appreciated.

Just took the test and not feeling good about it...Anyone know how many questions actually count? When I took the FL MPJE it was only 90 questions and only 60 counted. I was not expecting 120 questions
