Commissioners, exam reviewers complete MPJE question review; board law book updated to May 2025

Board members and a state agent reported that they completed the annual state‑specific review and pretest item selection for the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE), reviewing thousands of candidate questions and confirming items for the Connecticut test bank.

The work matters because the MPJE determines licensure eligibility; the board said that recent improvements in online study tools and an updated law book have coincided with an increase in candidate pass rates after earlier declines.

Commissioner Guante — who led the review along with Commissioner Lender and Agent Rachel Brown — said, "I just totaled up in total the 3 of us reviewed 3,338 questions." Guante added that the team reviewed the state's databank and new items written in March and selected state‑specific items for pretesting. Agent Rachel Brown was named as completing the review with the commissioners.

Reviewers said the board's law book available online has been updated through May 2025 and that the board's website captures recent pharmacy law changes relevant to the MPJE. A commissioner noted that items discussed with first‑time managers are included on the exam, saying that linkage validates the board's training and testing alignment.

No vote was required for the update; commissioners treated the report as informational and accepted the update without formal action.
