How long must you wait to retake the NAPLEX after failing to achieve a passing score?

The correct interval to wait before retaking the NAPLEX after failing to achieve a passing score is 91 days. This regulation is established by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which oversees the administration of the NAPLEX. The requirement is designed to ensure that candidates take the necessary time to prepare adequately before reattempting the exam.

This waiting period allows for a better understanding of the areas where a candidate may have struggled and helps improve their chances of success on subsequent attempts. It’s important for candidates to utilize this time wisely to engage in effective study strategies and review. The clarity on this timeframe helps manage expectations and guides individuals on the path to licensure in pharmacy practice.
