New and Improved NAPLEX/MPJE Application Coming Soon
Originally published in the February 2011 NABP Newsletter
In March, NABP will be launching a new and improved application process for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination® (NAPLEX®) and the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination® (MPJE®). The online application is being upgraded to be more user friendly, allowing candidates to perform more registration tasks, and providing status information to examination candidates.
In addition to providing the basic features of registering for the NAPLEX, NAPLEX score transfer, and MPJE, the new application will also allow candidates to make changes to, add to, or withdraw an application, eliminating the need for candidates to call NABP for this service. Changes that can be made to an application include registering for the MPJE in additional jurisdictions and adding NAPLEX score transfer requests until the time of sitting for the examination. Technological enhancements to the application allow for the elimination of the previous condition that required candidates to submit score transfer requests five business days prior to sitting for the NAPLEX.
The new application also allows candidates who miss sitting for an examination or do not cancel within two business days of their appointment to be able to submit resitting fees online rather than having to send a payment to NABP via mail. This will also expedite the receipt of the candidate’s new Authorization to Test so that he or she may schedule another examination appointment more quickly.
Of benefit to both candidates and the boards of pharmacy is the ability for candidates to monitor the status of their profile. After submitting an application, candidates will be able to log in to their application and see the status including if the application has been received; if eligibility has been requested, granted, denied, or expired; if Authorization to Test has been generated; and if the application has been withdrawn, closed, or expired, or if the examination has been taken. NABP anticipates that with greater availability of status information to candidates, boards of pharmacy will receive fewer calls from candidates seeking status updates.
Candidates who registered for the NAPLEX or MPJE before the new application is launched will be migrated into the new system and their current status will be reflected. The previous application did not require a user name and password, so candidates will need to create a new user account when logging in for the first time. Upon creating a new user account the system will match the newly created account profile to the candidate’s profile from the previously submitted application so that the current registrations can be viewed.
The new application also allows users to update their profiles as needed and review past orders. In addition, the score results for the NAPLEX and MPJE will also be accessible when candidates log in to the application, provided that the board for which the candidate tested participates in the online score interface. In October 2010, NABP offered boards of pharmacy the option of making scores available online. Currently, 20 boards utilize this service.
Overall, candidates and boards of pharmacy can expect a clearer and smoother registration process because both front and back-end functionality of the application has been streamlined and tightly integrated.
