Passed the 2020 NAPLEX. Just wanted to let others know, take a deep breathe. You’ll be fine.
Sent NABP a transcript per new requirement Monday before exam.
Took exam on Saturday - took 5 hours and 58 minutes.
NABP finally retrieved and processed e-transcript, Monday after exam.
Got the online score back Thursday.
Took a month off, said I “studied” but just watched a lot of netflix.
Logged in Pearson Vue after graduation, all the exams were taken until September unless I took something mid-June, with only 25 days to serious study. Not ideal, but I’m a gambling girl...
Still only studied 1-2 hours then buckled down to about 4 hours a day for 2.5 weeks.
For reference, my school typically has >95% pass rates.
3.1 pharm school GPA, got a D in kinetics.
B and Cs in therapy.
End of third year PCOA 59 percentile.
(I’m bad at taking tests.)
Used RX prep book, videos and quizzes. Only got around to taking half of the available quizzes. Typically scored 50-60% on their quizzes. Sometimes as bad as 20%. Except top sellers, calculations, biostats got to a point of getting greater than 80%
Took the RX prep 3.5h practice exam 7 days before got a 71%. Even though RX prep says. Reschedule if you don’t get an 80%, I’m still a gambling girl.
Just brushed up on calculations, biostats, ID, HIV, compounding, and drug interactions from then on.
Passed with TRIPLE digit score. So I hope this helps whoever is reading this. Stop panicking.

scheduled the MPJE for six days later
Studied for 2.5 days and one all-nighter.
Got low 80s
Took it on a Monday. Got results on Friday. The state board verified my new pharmacist status online that day. Got the hard copy in the mail the next Thursday.
My school typically has 96% pass rate.
