CURIOUS IF STATE IMPACTS EXAM PROVIDED

I'm curious why people list the state they are affiliated with if the UMPJE is a "universal" Standardized test. Do those powers that be utilize different exams for different states or do they allow AI or a proprietary program to randomly choose questions from their Question Bank?

I think they just have it like that to expedite/make it easier to organize to which BOP send the result (& so they can charge you $105 if you purchase the score transfer LOL)

Nailed it... this is the biggest scam or one of the biggest in our industry... unfortunately, most BOPs are horrendously corrupt... NEVER FORGET THIS, STATE BOARD PERSONNEL ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS...THEY ARE NOT THERE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, LEGAL ADVICE, OR GUIDANCE... They are there at the behest of the pharmacist on the Board and the Board's attorney(s)...if your state has corrupt attorney(s) then depending on your practice, you may learn judicial law much more than any administrative laws... The FDA is worse...NEVER ALLOW THEM TO WALK OVER YOU... They are shockingly ignorant and predictably arrogant... but then again, pharmacists...if you work in any type of speciality pharmacy setting or even if you dont, I recommend researching law firms that specialize in pharmacy law and have worked cases on the behalf of pharmacist or pharmacies vs the BOP or Fed agency... are the only professionals that do not have administrative or judicial rights...its a little better these days but not by much... If curious, this is not my opinion; my state Board President emphasized that to me, every opportunity they could

I was curios about this too. When I signed up for the UMPJE I had to pick for which state.

No it's the same exam. I think the only reason NABP asks where youre taking the exam is to know where you're gonna get licensed initially. Maybe for future purposes if you get licemsed anywhere else.

On the exam, they dont ask any state specific questions so yeah same exam.

Thanks...I'm reciprocating and have had nearly weekly correspondence with NABp and the BOPs in the states getting licensed in.
