NAPLEX Advantage
To help assess your readiness for the NAPLEX®, your college of pharmacy may offer the NAPLEX AdvantageTM tool. NAPLEX Advantage features a practice exam experience similar to that of the actual high-stakes exam day as well as comprehensive performance reports. NAPLEX Advantage is only available for purchase by colleges of pharmacy; it is not available for purchase by individual students. The Pre-NAPLEX® practice exam continues to be an affordable, helpful resource to help you prepare for taking the NAPLEX.
NAPLEX Advantage Key Features
If your college of pharmacy has purchased the tool, you can look forward to the following benefits.
Exam-day Experience
The practice exam is delivered by your college in a closed, secured testing environment with an ID verification and check-in process for an experience that is closer to sitting for the actual NAPLEX.

Performance Data
You will receive a performance report that includes your overall scaled score as well as a breakdown of your performance across each of the NAPLEX content domains. The reports are provided for both pass and fail results.
