NAPLEX Advantage
Support Your Students with the Premium Preparation and Assessment Tool – NAPLEX Advantage.
For use in any professional year (P1 through P4), but especially effective when used every year, NAPLEX AdvantageTM helps you and your students see progress as they move through the curriculum. In addition, it provides a unique preparation experience for students getting ready to take the NAPLEX® after graduation.
Designed specifically for colleges of pharmacy, NAPLEX Advantage provides students with an experience similar to that of the actual high-stakes exam day. The Advantage practice exam is designed to be delivered on the school’s campus in a proctored, closed, and secured testing environment as arranged by school staff. The ID verification and check-in process also mimics the students’ test day experience at a professional testing center. In addition, the practice exam is unique in that all test items have been utilized on previously published NAPLEX exams but are not included in any stand-alone Pre-NAPLEX test. Finally, assessing student readiness is easy with the valuable insights you will gain from NAPLEX Advantage reports that detail both individual and aggregate cohort results.
We offer more flexibility than ever with simple registration processes and no testing windows. The Advantage practice exam will help to guide students’ study plans as they prepare for the NAPLEX. To best support your students’ success on the NAPLEX, consider scheduling the Advantage with enough time to address areas for improvement before taking the NAPLEX. Log in to your NABP Services account to purchase vouchers, schedule and register students for the practice exam, view exam results, and more.
