Exam structure

State-customized computer-based jurisprudence exam combining federal and Georgia pharmacy-law questions with no distinction made between them (every question answered per the prevailing laws of the state in which licensure is sought); adaptive selected-response items across four competency areas — Licensure/Personnel (22%), Pharmacist Practice (33%), Dispensing Requirements (24%), Pharmacy Operations (21%)

Where rules vary

The MPJE is customized per jurisdiction; this row is the Georgia version. NABP: "The MPJE is a state-specific exam, whereas the UMPJE is a uniform jurisprudence exam for participating jurisdictions." Candidates must answer every question "in terms of the prevailing laws of the state in which you are seeking licensure." Georgia is NOT among the jurisdictions adopting the Uniform MPJE (UMPJE) — the UMPJE Participating States page (Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia) does not include Georgia and lists no MPJE retirement date for Georgia — and the NABP How to Apply page's "Take the MPJE or UMPJE Early" participating-jurisdiction list (Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming) confirms Georgia is a current MPJE jurisdiction. Georgia rules require licensure candidates to pass "a jurisprudence examination approved by the Board" on Georgia's pharmacy laws; reciprocity applicants must have "successfully passed a jurisprudence examination approved by the Board on Georgia's pharmacy laws and Board regulations." MPJE results cannot be transferred between jurisdictions.

Eligibility

Graduation from an ACPE-accredited entry-level pharmacy program (or FPGEC certification) before applying; Georgia rules additionally require completion of a Board-approved internship (1,500 hours) before exam eligibility and set the minimum age of majority and good moral character requirements

Retake policy

5 attempts per jurisdiction to pass the MPJE; candidates who do not pass must purchase a resit application at the full exam fee (USD 170 for the MPJE) for each attempt
