FAQs

What documents are required to apply for NAPLEX and MPJE?

Official transcripts must be sent to NABP by your school. You also complete an e-profile that includes required personal details such as name, maiden name, social security number, date of birth, and contact information.

How long does it take NABP to process the transcript and why does it matter?

NABP requires several business days to process the transcript, and in some cases it can take up to three weeks. This can delay exam scheduling, so submitting early is advised.

How do you schedule the exams after receiving ATT?

After NABP emails your authorization to test (ATT), schedule the exam through Pearson VUE. The document also emphasizes reviewing test requirements before arriving and ensuring your ID matches exactly how you register.
