Pharmacist Practice Test (NAPLEX)

The Pharmacist Practice Test (NAPLEX) is a free advanced-level, 25-minute skill test from Science of Apps. Practice questions for the NAPLEX pharmacist licensing exam — pharmacology and drug interactions, pharmaceutical calculations and pharmacokinetics, cardiovascular and endocrine therapeutics, infectious disease, CNS and pain therapeutics, and medication safety, compounding and patient counselling. Score 70% or more on its 25 questions to earn a verifiable NAPLEX Exam Readiness certificate (SOA-NAPX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including DailyMed drug labels (U.S. National Library of Medicine), NAPLEX competency statements (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy), Pharmacology for Nurses (OpenStax (Rice University)) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Read the five skill areas on this page, then take the 25-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a NAPLEX Exam Readiness certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: DailyMed drug labels (U.S. National Library of Medicine); NAPLEX competency statements (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy); Pharmacology for Nurses (OpenStax (Rice University)); ADA Accessibility Standards (US Access Board); IDSA practice guidelines (Infectious Diseases Society of America); List of Error-Prone Abbreviations (ISMP). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Pharmacology and Interactions (Mechanisms, CYP interactions and Adverse effects); Calculations and Pharmacokinetics (Dosing calculations, Dilutions and PK principles); Cardiovascular and Endocrine Therapeutics (Hypertension and lipids, Diabetes and Thyroid and bone); Infectious Disease, CNS and Pain (Antibiotics, CNS drugs and Pain and toxicology); Medication Safety, Compounding and Counselling (Error prevention, Compounding standards and Counselling). Every question is an original scenario based on a published standard, official documentation or research, named under the question.
