About This Calculator
The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) is a standardized national exam required for all practicing pharmacists in the United States. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) website provides limited historical data (typically only the past three years) and does not provide this data in a format conducive to basic descriptive statistical analysis.
The purpose of this calculator is to provide historical data (beyond 3 years) and basic statistical analysis in a format that is sortable and searchable. All data represents first-time attempts among students who took the NAPLEX exam within the same year of graduation.
