**The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX), is just one component of the licensure process and is used by the boards of pharmacy as part of their assessment of a candidate’s competence to practice as a pharmacist. The most recent NAPLEX pass rates from all accredited schools/colleges of pharmacy can be found here.

The Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE), combines federal- and state-specific questions to test the pharmacy jurisprudence knowledge of prospective pharmacists. It serves as the pharmacy law examination in participating jurisdictions. The most recent MPJE pass rates from all accredited school/colleges of pharmacy can be found here.
