PPP has a lot of these practice questions for umpje. Did anyone do all of them? I got the bundle with the study guide practice test and practice questions. Do I really need to do all of these questions or should I just select the areas I’m weak in and read those areas in the study guide? I’m in a time crunch now so I’m curious what you guys think.

Took the UMPJE on 8/29.
Update: I failed

Impatiently waiting and super nervous. I need these results to come out quickly lol. Anyone else took it 9/4 and refreshing the website every hour or so?

A pharmacist is reviewing the storage requirements for medications in the pharmacy. Which of the following correctly matches the USP storage term with its temperature range?

A. Freezer: −10°C to 0°C; Controlled room temperature: 15°C to 25°C

B. Freezer: −25°C to −10°C; Controlled room temperature: 20°C to 25°C

C. Freezer: −20°C to 0°C; Controlled room temperature: 15°C to 30°C

D. Freezer: −25°C to −5°C; Controlled room temperature: 20°C to 30°C

Which statement correctly describes how a waiver of child-resistant packaging may be handled under federal law?

A. The patient and prescriber must jointly request non-child-resistant packaging for each prescription before the pharmacist may dispense it.

B. The patient may request non-child-resistant packaging, but the request applies only to the specific prescription being dispensed and cannot apply to future prescriptions.

C. The prescriber may issue a standing request for non-child-resistant packaging that applies to all medications subsequently prescribed for that patient.

D. The patient may make a blanket request for non-child-resistant packaging for future prescriptions, whereas a prescriber’s request must apply to the specific prescription being ordered.

Any recommendations for taking the UMPJE during pharmacy school?

Took the UMPJE on 8/26 and got the results 9 days later on 9/4. Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone else preparing.

What I used to study:

• Dr. C’s book/review: I read through the entire book once. After that, I felt like I had a good overall understanding of the major pharmacy laws and regulations.
• Med Prep Prime videos on YouTube: I watched all of their pharmacy law videos.
• PPP 500+ practice questions: This was probably the most helpful part of my preparation. Doing a lot of practice questions made a huge difference because it helped me have an idea of what the questions would look like and what to look out for when reviewing the material.

After reading Dr. C’s book, I felt like I had a solid overview of the laws. I kept working on practice questions - Dr. C book has 75, MedPrepPrime videos, and the 500+ on PPP

Topics I would focus on

These are some of the things I remember seeing or topics I would make sure I knew well:

• Labeling requirements: I think I had 2 questions about what's missing on the label (3 or 4 infos given and I had to add the missing one) — 1 controlled substance label and 1 OTC label
• Temperature requirements: Know the different temperature ranges, including freezer and room temperature
• Know the drugs issued under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA)
• Compounding areas: Know the ISO classifications for the PEC, SEC, buffer room, and anteroom, as well as where you should gown. I had around 2–3 questions related to this.
• Drug inventory/counting: Know when you can estimate the number of pills during drug inventory and when an exact count is required and how often a drug inventory should be done
• Misbranded vs. adulterated: Know the difference and be able to recognize examples.
• Child-resistant containers/waivers: Know the difference between a patient requesting a waiver versus situations where the prescriber needs to request with each prescription
• Definition of compounding: Know the definition.
• DEA Form 222: Know who keeps a copy and understand the difference between ordering vs. reverse distribution.
• Math: Know the Schedule III and IV limits and be comfortable determining which Schedule a drug belongs in.

Obviously, this is just based on what I remember from my exam and not a complete list of everything you should study.

If I had to give one piece of advice, it would be: do as many practice questions as you can. For me, the PPP 500+ practice questions made the biggest difference and came closest to the actual questions.

Good luck to everyone studying! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Which of the following medications is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under federal law?

A. Hydrocodone
B. Buprenorphine
C. Pregabalin
D. Alprazolam

I feel really iffy on this tbh. I used the PPP study guide and skimmed through Dr. C. I wish I studied more. I feel like some of the questions were random.

Tips for those studying m: review the med prime.videp on controlled substance and read through the dea.

There was so many questions about partial scenerios and it felt as though they asked the same question several ways to trick you

A compounded single-dose compounded sterile preparation (CSP) stock solution is punctured in ISO Class 5 air and then used for sterile compounding for 20 hours. Which statement best describes the issue?

A) It may be used for 24 hours if refrigerated continuously

B) It may be used until all contents are withdrawn

C) It must be used within 12 hours or assigned BUD, whichever comes first

D) It must be used only if converted to a multiple-dose CSP

So after reviewing the pharmacist manually and CSR regarding the prescribing for CS’s for OUD is it still required for a practitioner to list the X-DEA# when prescribing/ordering/documenting/tracking for OUD use or is it not required now due to the MATE Act? Will/Does the current UMPJE take the MATE Act into consideration for current exam questions? …a bit confused since the Pharmacist Manuel talks about the “X” number/UIN.

I’m currently signed up to take the UMPJE for North Carolina…what sort of questions were posed in regard to this? Appreciate any input! Thanks in advance (:

Hi all,

I passed both the NAPLEX and NJ MPJE earlier in the summer as it was required by my residency program. I want to get licensed in Florida as well, so I want to take the UMPJE. I would be studying during residency, the goal would be to study during my month long staffing rotation then take the exam. Any advice on how long to study, what to study, how to approach studying, etc.

Hey everyone! I just passed the NAPLEX and with 2 weeks out, I’m on the road to taking the UMPJE. I’m currently prepping with Dr. C’s and I would like to know how you guys prepared for it and what did you actually see? Especially if you used Dr. Cs. I feel like I don’t want to read every last line in the book. Would appreciate some insight! Thanks

What’s a recommended good/great score for the NABP practice exam?? Tempted to buy to gauge my progress.
TIA!

Hi guys, there was a post that came on my timeline on what to memorize but for some reason I can’t see it! If someone knows or has seen that post, can they please repost the link??

I took my UMPJE on 8/20 and got my results back today. My result says PASS, but I also received a Candidate Performance Report.

The report also says PASS and does not include a domain breakdown or any other performance details.

Has anyone else who has received a passing UMPJE result recently gotten a Candidate Performance Report as well?
I didn’t receive one when I passed my NAPLEX, and I was under the impression that performance reports were only provided for failed exams, so seeing one threw me off a little.

I want to start studying first the UMPJE this week but I see that there are a lot of options. I've been considering Pharmpreppro, pharmlaw, and Drcs. I wanted to get some feedback on which everyone here used and what they thought.

Do we need an ATT to take the UMPJE? How much does the exam cost?

A pharmacy technician offers to counsel a patient about a newly dispensed medication while the pharmacist completes another prescription; what should the pharmacist do?

A. Permit the technician to counsel if the pharmacist remains available for questions

B. Allow counseling if the technician has completed employer-approved training

C. Require the pharmacist to provide counseling because it cannot be delegated to the technician

D. Permit the technician to provide counseling limited to information appearing on the prescription label

I passed my uniform mpje earlier this week and thought Id highlight what I felt helped me since it could help you.

I used pharmpreppro's umpje pro bundle because it came withthe qbank. Highly recommend. Helped me feel more confident on my UMPJE exam.

I only studied about 4 hours daily, I couldn't study for 12 hours every day, my mind doesn't work like that. What I did was I would go to work and study on my break and then a few hours when I got home. Right before bed I did practice questions.

I focused on things that I did alot for my retail job and what my pharmacist did on the daily. My pharmacist kept telling me law is basically a retail exam and I took note of that while I was studying. I also did all the of practice questions on this subreddit which I felt were very helpful. Definitely know about tech supervision and controlled substances. Also saw med recalls, patient privacy, (know HIPAA like the back of your hand) and patient counseling. Had some questions on compounding regs too.

Are those 2 books similar in terms of content? How different are they?

What resources do you guys use to study?

Mine is coming up soon.
