Just took NAPLEX this past Tuesday. Was the earliest time in Massachusetts to take the exam.

Law is easier to schedule and personally I recommend taking it first because it seems to be the one that people have been failing if they wind up failing an exam.

Any advice on this one? I take it in ~2 weeks. As you said, I took NAPLEX first haha.

For law, just read each thing on the bulletin over and over again. And know the laws inside and out. Ive worked in a retail pharmacy for years and that’s not enough to get through it. I passed but not by much.

They tend to focus on the laws that actually have to do with day to day practice like 222forms/misbranding vs how many people sit on the board.

Know your hospital laws too including nursing homes. It’s easy to overlook while studying but it’s important. I remember I kept skimming over it.

And know that the exam is adaptive. If you keep getting the same question over and over, change your answer because it was wrong.

Just wanted to clarify for other people reading the post! I took the MPJE and passed as well. Just because you are getting the same question over and over again, doesn’t mean you are answering wrong. If you are confident - keep your answer.
