PHARMACY JURISPRUDENCE EXAMINATION™ (MPJE™)
The computer-based MPJE combines
federal and state-specific law questions to serve as the state law examination
in participating jurisdictions. The MPJE is based on a national blueprint of
pharmacy jurisprudence competencies; however, the questions are tailored to the
specific law in each state.

What is the MPJE?
The MPJE is based on a nationally uniform content blueprint, with
questions that are tailored to assess the pharmacy jurisprudence requirements
of individual states. In cooperation with participating state boards of
pharmacy, the MPJE is uniformly developed, administered, and scored under
policies and procedures developed by NABP’s Advisory Committee on Examinations
and approved by NABP’s Executive Committee. The content of the MPJE is approved
by boards of pharmacy, practitioners, and educators from around the country
through their service as MPJE Review Committee members, item writers, and board
of pharmacy representatives. All candidates are tested on their mastery of pharmacy
law as outlined in the MPJE Competency Statements (page 22). Each participating
state board of pharmacy approves those questions that are specific to the
federal and state laws of the jurisdictions in which candidates are seeking
licensure. Candidates must take a
separate exam for each state or jurisdiction in which they are seeking
licensure.
The MPJE is a two-hour, computer-adaptive examination that consists
of 90 multiple-choice test questions. Of these, 60 questions will be used to
calculate the test score. The remaining 30 items serve as pretest questions,
and do NOT affect the MPJE score.
Pretest questions are administered to evaluate items’ difficulty level for
possible inclusion as scored questions in future exams. These pretest questions
are dispersed throughout the exam and cannot be identified by the candidate.
The Computer-Adaptive
Format
A computer-adaptive exam is inherently different from a
paper-and-pencil exam. Like many other tests, the goal of a computer-adaptive
test is to measure a candidate’s knowledge and ability. The test selects
questions for each candidate based on his or her unique ability level. When you
take the MPJE, the computer’s technology will assess your answers before
presenting you with the next question. An estimate of your ability level will
be determined based on the difficulty level oft he questions you have answered
correctly. This determination of the difficulty level will then be used to
calculate your MPJE score. Please
Note: Because
the computer-adaptive MPJE presents questions to you based on your responses to
previous questions, YOU CANNOT
CHANGE ANANSWER ONCE YOU HAVE CONFIRMED ANANSWER CHOICE OR GO BACK AND REVIEW
AQUESTION ONCE YOU HAVE MOVED ONTOTHE NEXT QUESTION. Remember, the
computer-adaptive format of the examinations requires that ALL test questions be answered in the order in which they are
presented. Examination questions are selected for you based on your answers to
previous questions. You will NOT
be allowed
to skip a question or return to a previous question to review your answer. Once
you have confirmed an answer choice and have moved on to the next question, you
CANNOT return to the previous question to change your
answer. You must answer ALL questions in the order
in which they are presented, and you may NOT skip a question. Your formal education, training, practical
experience, and self-study prepare you for the MPJE. The MPJE has been designed
to assess how well you apply your knowledge, skills, and abilities to evaluate
situations involving the applicable federal and state laws and regulations that
govern the practice of pharmacy in the state in which you are seeking
licensure. Consult the MPJE Competency Statements for a description of possible
examination question topics, and familiarize yourself with the specific federal
and state pharmacy laws and regulations as they apply in the state conferring
eligibility to take the examination. You may wish to consult references such as
Facts and Comparisons’ Pharmacy Law Digest
(Editorial Note: Free bonus points
for each student who knows one of the authors of this textbook).
or the United States Pharmacopoeia Dispensing Information Approved Drug
Products and Legal Requirements, which contain federal statutes and regulations applicable
to the several states.
Additional information may
also be obtained from the state board of pharmacy where you are seeking
licensure. Please Note: NO
DISTINCTION IS MADE INTHE EXAMINATION BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE JURISPRUDENCE
QUESTIONS. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ANSWER EACH QUESTION INTERMS OF THE PREVAILING
LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH YOU ARE SEEKING LICENSURE.

However, the sad news reports that:
MPJE™ Candidate's Review Guide, Version 2.0 is no longer
available.
http://nabp.net/competency/MPJEGuide/intro.asp
no longer works.
So now what do we do?
Find file: mpje.exe
Not on theNAPB.net site
anymore.
Go to http://jessevivian.net
Get redirected to: http://jessevivian.pharm.wayne.edu
Can’t find it there
either
BUT
Go to the URL (address)
and AFTER the end type “/napb.exe” so it should look like this: http://jessevivian.pharm.wayne.edu/nabp.exe
You should get a dialog
box that asks you whether to save the program or open it. I suggest clicking on
the “save it” option and afterwards opening the program.
Find out where you
downloaded this file and open it.
After several
introduction screens you will get to a screen that has a bunch of options.
Select the “sample
questions” option and follow directions to see the sample questions.
You should see a disclaimer
screen that says:
The sample questions
will help you become familiar with the format of the MPJE as well as the
Competency Statements that the questions are based on. These questions do NOT
purport to be a sample examination or an exact model of the MPJE in terms of
difficulty and proportion. Individually,
however, they are intended to be representative in format and type of the
questions on the MPJE.
The sample questions and
the referenced states used within this Guide were current and accurate at the
time of publication. Because state laws change frequently, this Guide only uses
a sampling of the participating state boards of pharmacy as references. It is possible that the sample questions and
answers are applicable to additional states, however, for the purpose of this
guide, only the sample group of states will be referenced. The correct answers
to the sample questions may vary from state to state depending on the
applicable
law in any given state.
Even though the sample
questions may not be applicable to your state, reviewing all of the sample
questions will help you become familiar with the types of MPJE questions as
well as the Competency Statements on which they are based.
