How Long Does It Take to Get NABP Results?
The time it takes to receive results from NABP examinations like the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) or the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE) can vary. As of my last update in September 2021, it generally takes around 2 to 10 business days for the NABP to release exam scores, but this time frame can change based on various factors like processing volume or technical issues.
Once the scores are available, they are usually sent directly to the board of pharmacy of the jurisdiction where you are seeking licensure. Some boards may make these scores available to candidates online, while others might send them via mail.
It’s important to consult the specific guidelines and timelines provided by both the NABP and your state’s board of pharmacy for the most accurate and current information.
