The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy will reinstate the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination on Oct. 5, according to a memo from the NABP.
The NABP suspended administration of this test and the Georgia Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination on Aug. 25 while investigating University professor
Flynn Warren Jr., who was charged with gathering and distributing previous test questions obtained from students who took the test.
Carmen Catizone, executive director of NABP, said the original goal for reinstating the NAPLEX was Nov. 1.
"Our testing staff worked around the clock" to get the test reinstated, Catizone said.
Administration of the Georgia Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination is suspended, but Catizone said the board is trying to get the test reinstated quickly. They are working on the software for the test, which has been the limiting factor thus far.
"We're working on getting the uncompromised items back in the test," Catizone said.

What a load of bunk! They weren't working around the clock to get the exam back online. The NABP got wind of a class action suit against them that is in the works so they thought they better start the exam up again to limit their liability. (Continued…)

Is it going to be a "take-home" exam again? I surely hope so!
