HI MPJE study plan

Map the Hawaii Board of Pharmacy's statutory framework by locating the chapter of the Hawaii Revised Statutes governing pharmacists and pharmacies and outlining its article headings

Build a one-page reference table of Hawaii pharmacy licensure categories (pharmacist, pharmacy, intern, technician) listing the credential, issuing authority, and renewal cycle for each

Define the Hawaii-specific terms that differ from federal vocabulary, such as the state's treatment of a 'pharmacy' versus a 'drug room' and its permit classes

List the Hawaii grounds for discipline and the board's enforcement mechanisms, distinguishing administrative penalties from criminal referral

Trace the Hawaii prescription requirements end to end: what elements must appear on a prescription, which schedules may be transmitted orally, and how refills are limited

Compare Hawaii's controlled substance scheduling and reporting duties against the federal framework, noting where the state is stricter

Diagram the Hawaii prescription drug monitoring program workflow, including who must query, when, and the reporting deadline for dispensers

Identify Hawaii rules on labeling, patient counseling, and transfer of prescriptions between pharmacies

Draft a checklist a pharmacist could use to decide whether to fill, clarify, or refuse a suspicious prescription under Hawaii law

Summarize Hawaii rules on drug storage, security, recordkeeping retention periods, and required inspections

Explain Hawaii's handling of returns, recalls, and destruction of drugs, including controlled substances and reverse distributors

Outline Hawaii requirements for sterile and nonsterile compounding and how they layer on top of USP standards

Describe Hawaii's rules for pharmacy technicians, interns, and support personnel, including ratio and supervision limits

Compile Hawaii's special-authority provisions, such as collaborative practice agreements, immunization authority, and emergency or standing-order dispensing

Recite the Hawaii rules on advertising, price disclosure, and internet or mail-order dispensing

Practice 40 mixed Hawaii-law questions under timed conditions and log every miss by statutory topic

Re-teach the three weakest Hawaii topics from the miss log in your own words without notes

Map the federal statutory architecture: the FDCA, the Controlled Substances Act, and the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, and which agency enforces each

Outline the FDA approval pathways (NDA, ANDA, BLA) and the distinction between prescription, OTC, and behind-the-counter status

State the CSA scheduling criteria and the registration, order form, and recordkeeping duties for each schedule

Explain the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act retail restrictions and the DEA form requirements for loss, theft, and destruction

Summarize the Drug Supply Chain Security Act track-and-trace duties, including product identifier, verification, and transaction documentation

Explain REMS, risk evaluation and mitigation strategies, and the restrictions on dispensing drugs with elements-to-assure-safe-use

Outline HIPAA privacy rule obligations as they apply to pharmacy practice, including minimum necessary and permitted disclosures

Describe federal rules on compounding, including what distinguishes a 503A from a 503B facility

Identify the federal anti-kickback and False Claims Act exposure points in pharmacy billing and marketing arrangements

Resolve 30 scenarios where Hawaii law and federal law diverge or stack, deciding which rule controls and why

Build a side-by-side table of federal versus Hawaii requirements for controlled substances, labeling, records, and counseling

Time yourself on two 60-question mixed-domain sets and record accuracy by domain

Rewrite every missed item as a one-sentence rule statement you can recall cold

Take two full-length simulated exams under real timing and score each by domain to confirm both are above your target threshold

Drill only the lowest-accuracy domain from week 7 until practice accuracy on that domain clears 80 percent

Recite from memory the numeric limits most likely to be tested: retention periods, refill caps, PDMP reporting windows, and schedule thresholds

Assemble a one-page pre-exam sheet of Hawaii-specific rules that differ from the federal default
