What to Expect for MPJE Test Day

Does your name match?

The printed name on your ID must exactly match the name as it appears on your ATT letter and NABP e-Profile; this includes first name, middle name, last name, and suffix. Some flexibility is allowed for middle names; read the Name Matching Requirements section of the Bulletin for more information.

Your photo ID must include your signature

Acceptable Forms of ID

To be admitted to the testing center, you must present one form of ID as listed below. Your ID must be an actual US or Canadian government-issued ID (not a copy), current (not expired), valid, and contain a recent, recognizable photograph and your signature.

Only Acceptable Forms of ID:

Follow Security and Safety Procedures

All candidates will be required to provide a digital signature and have a digital photograph taken prior to being admitted to the testing room. Additional security procedures can be found in the Taking Your Exams section of the Bulletin.

Authorization to Share Exam Results

Starting May 6, 2024, during the pre-screen before you start the exam, you will be presented with a waiver to opt into a process that will authorize NABP to share your exam results with your college of pharmacy. Sharing your results with your college of pharmacy is optional but highly encouraged to provide colleges with additional information about class pass rates. Regardless of your exam results, there will be no repercussions on the conference of your degree. 

Examination Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA)

Before you begin the MPJE at the test center, you will have 5 minutes to read and agree to the terms and conditions of the NDA for NABP examinations. You must select the “agree” box when the NDA is presented to be able to proceed. Learn more about the NDA in the Taking Your Exams section of the Bulletin.

Exam Misconduct

Follow All Examination Rules

If you have witnessed misconduct or other irregularities as described in the Bulletin, report it immediately.
