NAPLEX Results

Pass or Fail exam results are posted in your NABP e-Profile for the majority of jurisdictions.

If the primary jurisdiction for which you are testing participates in NABP’s online exam result interface, you will receive Pass or Fail exam results within 14 business days after you have taken the exam. 

Candidates who are seeking licensure in the following jurisdictions are required to receive their exam results directly from these jurisdictions:

  • California
  • Guam
  • Illinois
  • Minnesota
  • Montana
  • Puerto Rico
  • The Virgin Islands

The posting of a passing result on an examination does not constitute a license to practice pharmacy. Only the boards of pharmacy have the authority to issue a license.

Candidate Performance Report

For a Fail NAPLEX result, we provide a performance report that gives additional details across the competency areas.

View the NAPLEX sample candidate performance report to find a breakdown of the information included in your exam results.

Score Transfer

The score transfer program saves time and allows you to move ahead with licensure in more than one jurisdiction as soon as you pass the NAPLEX.

Score transfer can be added to your NAPLEX application in your e-Profile. You may select jurisdictions in addition to the primary jurisdiction where you are seeking licensure, and we will transmit your score to those boards of pharmacy. 

Score Transfer Tips

    • Score transfer requests can be submitted via your NABP e-Profile up to 89 days after sitting for the NAPLEX.
    • The cost is $75 per jurisdiction.
    • Purchase score transfer requests as soon as possible; waiting until the last day may result in the score transfer request option being unavailable.

    Authorization to Share Exam Results

    At this time, NABP will also release exam results to the board of pharmacy designated on your NAPLEX application. Any jurisdictions that you selected for score transfer will also receive the exam results.

    Starting May 6, 2024, you will have the option to authorize NABP to share your exam results with your college of pharmacy. During the pre-screen before you start the exam, you will be presented with an opt-in waiver to share your results. 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 result, there will be no repercussions on the conference of your degree. 

    Passing Rate

    Yearly passing rates for each of the United States colleges of pharmacy can be found in the Resources section.
