Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring an unexpired ID with your photo and signature; the name must match your NABP/Pearson VUE registration. Confirm accepted ID forms with Pearson VUE before test day. needs_review
Appointment confirmation and ATT
Have your appointment confirmation and Authorization to Test available. Whether a printed copy is required varies by site, so confirm with Pearson VUE. needs_review
Arrival time
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete check-in. Confirm the exact arrival window with your test center.
Test center location and parking
Confirm the Pearson VUE center address, parking, and travel time the day before. Traffic and check-in delays can cost testing time.
Leave prohibited items behind
Do not bring notes, phones, smartwatches, or study materials into the testing room. Ask the test center about locker availability and what must be stored. needs_review
Comfortable layered clothing
Dress in layers because testing-room temperature varies. Avoid clothing with inappropriate content or excessive pockets; confirm any dress-code restrictions with the center. needs_review
Medical accommodations
If you need extra time, a quiet room, medication access, or other accommodations, arrange it with NABP/Pearson VUE well before test day. Same-day requests are generally not accommodated. needs_review
Glasses and personal comfort items
Bring glasses if you need them. Confirm whether tissues, water, or other comfort items are permitted at your specific center. needs_review
Missouri law review materials
Do not plan to bring or use references during the exam. Review Missouri pharmacy statutes/rules and federal law beforehand; the MPJE is closed-book.
Transportation and backup plan
Arrange reliable transportation and a backup route. Keep your phone off and stored once you enter the testing area.
Plan the day
Confirm your appointment, ID, test center address, and accommodations. Review Missouri-specific pharmacy law and federal law using outline-style summaries, and do timed practice questions to check pacing.
Do a light review of high-yield Missouri rules and federal requirements. Recheck Pearson VUE instructions and pack your ID and appointment information.
Stop heavy cramming. Confirm travel time and parking, set out your ID and clothing, eat a normal meal, and get a full night of sleep.
Eat breakfast, hydrate moderately, arrive early with your ID and appointment confirmation, and avoid last-minute group study that may increase anxiety.
Follow proctor instructions for ID verification, storage of personal items, and any security screening. Ask the proctor to clarify anything before your exam starts.
Read each question fully, watch the clock, and flag uncertain items for review if the interface allows. Pace yourself so you finish all questions.
Ask the proctor how breaks work and whether the clock stops. Do not assume an unscheduled break pauses your testing time. needs_review
Follow the proctor's checkout instructions. Ask NABP or the Missouri Board how and when results are reported; do not expect immediate unofficial scoring unless confirmed. needs_review
Rules to check
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID with signature; your name must match your registration. Confirm accepted forms with Pearson VUE before test day.
Do not bring electronic devices, notes, or study materials into the testing room. Follow the test center's storage rules and proctor instructions.
Breaks are not guaranteed to stop your exam clock. Confirm the break policy with Pearson VUE/proctor before your appointment. needs_review

A scaled passing score of 75 is commonly reported for the MPJE. Confirm current scoring and result-reporting procedures with NABP and the Missouri Board. needs_review

Request testing accommodations in advance through NABP/Pearson VUE. Do not expect the test center to arrange accommodations on exam day.
