NAPLEX Study App: Drugs, Doses and Counselling Points by Recall
The NAPLEX is the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination, which pharmacy graduates take to be licensed in the United States. It asks you to apply drug knowledge to patients: indications, dosing, interactions, adverse effects and counselling. Type to Study turns your notes into lessons and drug flashcards with spaced review.

What the NAPLEX covers
The NAPLEX is set by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and taken on computer at test centres. Its competency statements cover obtaining and interpreting patient information, identifying drug characteristics, developing and managing treatment plans, calculations, compounding and dispensing, and patient education. Most states also require the MPJE, a separate law exam.
The NABP publishes the current competency statements, format and eligibility rules. Check them before you plan your review.
Why it is hard and how to prepare
The difficulty is the number of drugs and the details attached to each: brand and generic names, class, dose, monitoring, interactions, black box warnings and counselling points. Questions also put these into patient cases, so you have to choose the best option, not just recognise a fact.
Most candidates combine a review book or course, a question bank and daily drug review. Calculations need their own practice. Spaced review of drug facts is where flashcards earn their place: cramming hundreds of drugs works for a week, spacing keeps them through test day (Cepeda et al., 2006).
A plan using Type to Study
Upload your own notes and PDF chapters from books you own, and build courses by therapeutic area. Every key drug fact becomes a flashcard, and the Recall pass makes you type names, classes and monitoring parameters from memory. Typed-answer quizzes are good practice for counselling points.
After each question bank session, study the units behind your mistakes. Do your calculations practice with paper, a calculator and a question bank: Type to Study builds knowledge, not worked numerical problems.
Questions
Does Type to Study include NAPLEX questions?
No. It does not include licensed or official questions. Use it alongside a NAPLEX review course or question bank.
Does it help with pharmacy calculations?
Not really. It is built for knowledge and recall, not worked numerical problems. Practise calculations separately.
Can it help with the MPJE?
For the knowledge, yes, if you upload notes on your state's pharmacy law. Check your state board for what is examined.
