What the Course Entails and Exam Details

The comprehensive PNN 7-Day Live Course provides over 80 hours of live, expert-led instruction, covering the vast array of clinical topics you will encounter on your licensing exams. Unlike other reviews, PNN focuses solely on the clinical portion, omitting the pharmacy law section, which is covered in a separate course. This laser focus allows for in-depth analysis and mastery of critical subjects, including but not limited to: Cardiology, Infectious Diseases, Endocrinology, Oncology, Critical Care, Pediatrics, Geriatrics, and Federal Pharmacy Law (only as it directly relates to clinical practice and calculating dosages).

Included in the full course are high-quality, physical Coursebooks (700+ pages following the lectures slide-by-slide) and a Chartbook (120+ pages of high-yield clinical charts for easy comparison and memorization). Students also gain access to a powerful Online Question Bank (Qbank), and, crucially, two full-length practice exams, each containing 100 questions. These practice tests are designed to mirror the structure, difficulty, and complexity of the real NAPLEX and CPJE.

What to Expect in the Final Exam

While this practice test is a close approximation, you must understand the format of the official board exams. The NAPLEX is a comprehensive, six-hour, computerized adaptive test consisting of 225 multiple-choice questions that are scenario-based and calculate-intensive, administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). The CPJE, administered by the California State Board of Pharmacy, also features clinical questions, along with law and jurisprudence. Both final exams require meticulous preparation and a solid understanding of both the concepts and the time management necessary to complete them. The PNN practice tests, with their 100-question format, simulate this environment by timing your performance and providing a breakdown of your score across different clinical areas, helping you to identify weaknesses before the real test day.

How to Study and Exam Centers

To maximize the benefits of the PNN practice test and the entire 7-Day Live Course, it is strongly recommended that you begin your studies with the provided course materials—the Coursebook and Chartbook—before attending the live sessions. This allows you to follow the lectures more effectively and engage in the interactive virtual classroom.

Integrate the PNN Online Qbank into your daily study routine, focusing on one or two clinical topics at a time to build mastery. Use the two included practice exams strategically: take the first one near the middle of your preparation to assess your progress, and the second one a week before your official test date to refine your strategy and build confidence.

The final, official licensing exams, both the NAPLEX and CPJE, are administered by appointment at authorized testing centers worldwide, with Pearson VUE being the primary administrator for the NAPLEX. You must register through the respective board of pharmacy (NABP for NAPLEX and the California State Board for CPJE) to schedule your exam. The PNN practice test, however, is accessed directly through the Pass NAPLEX Now student portal, allowing you to take it in a controlled, online environment from anywhere.
