Exam structure
State-customized computer-based jurisprudence exam combining federal and Texas 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 Texas 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.' The Texas State Board of Pharmacy requires the MPJE of every pharmacist licensure-by-exam applicant (and reciprocity applicants) and has NOT adopted the Uniform MPJE: Texas is absent from the UMPJE participating-states list (Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia) and has no MPJE retirement date. MPJE results cannot be transferred between jurisdictions.
Eligibility
Graduation from an ACPE-accredited entry-level pharmacy program (or FPGEC certification) before applying; the Texas board determines eligibility — applicants submit the TSBP licensure-by-exam application and then must register with NABP, which forwards passing scores to TSBP
Retake policy
5 attempts per jurisdiction to pass the MPJE; candidates who do not pass must re-register and pay the applicable fee each attempt (USD 170 resit application to NABP); TSBP emails a retake packet within 3 weeks of receiving exam results
