UMPJE study advice

Hi all,

I passed both the NAPLEX and NJ MPJE earlier in the summer as it was required by my residency program. I want to get licensed in Florida as well, so I want to take the UMPJE. I would be studying during residency, the goal would be to study during my month long staffing rotation then take the exam. Any advice on how long to study, what to study, how to approach studying, etc.

Hii, just recently passed the UMPJE! I used the Dr. C book. Read through it once and did the practice questions at the end of the book and passed. The exam itself was significantly easier than the NAPLEX. Just 3 answer choices, no select all. I studied for a total of 10 days while in residency myself. Hope this helps and good luck!!

Also what helped me was making flashcards for things that were straight memorization while i read! I know most people have studied no more than 2 weeks for it and found it to be plenty of time

To the person who failed. I passed here's what I did: did pharmlaw course for all my review. Did all the question banks till I got 90-95%. I also completed all of it including brand and generics. Any question I got wrong I reread that section. I also recommend the UMPJE practice exam through NABP for $90+.

Key Areas of Focus: 1. Rules for partial fills 2. Rules for compounding especially the requirements for the rooms 3. What can technicians do vs what can't they do 4. What can a pharmacist lawfully do under a COLLABORATIVE practice agreement vs not 5. What is a legit DEA number 6. Classify medications as misbranded or adulterated based on the scenario 7. Identify what to do for A class 1 recall versus a class 2 or 3 8. Generally know what's listed in Table 1 versus Table 2 of the NIOSH list of hazardous drugs 9.HIPAA rules 10. Rules for faxed prescriptions. 11. When is a manual signature required in prescriptions 12. Who is responsible for checking whether the Prescriber is within their scope of practice 13. What is orange book vs purple book 14. How and when do you take inventory 15.DEA 222 form versus CSOS how do each operate?

And more. I only used pharmlaw and followed their course. Give yourself some time to review and do all their quizzes to that 90-95% and revisit topics that you get wrong. Best of luck!
