Commission grants one additional NAPLEX attempt to candidate who has taken the exam five times
Summary
A candidate identified as Harish was granted one more attempt at the NAPLEX within six months after commissioners heard he had taken the exam five times and completed additional compounding training.
The Connecticut Pharmacy Commission voted to allow a candidate identified in the record as Harish one additional attempt at the NAPLEX, to be taken within six months of the decision.
During a brief reciprocity/interview segment, Harish told the panel he had taken the NAPLEX five times previously and asked for a sixth attempt. "I am requesting the board members to allow me 1 additional chance so that I could...be a pharmacist," Harish said, describing recent training he had taken to address time‑management and compounding weaknesses. He said he plans to schedule the exam in September and that he currently works as a pharmacy technician.
A commissioner moved to permit the candidate one additional attempt, with the condition the exam be taken within six months; another commissioner seconded the motion. The Commission voted in favor.
The Commission also reminded the candidate that passing the NAPLEX does not remove the MPJE requirement; the candidate acknowledged understanding that he would also need to take the MPJE. The decision allows the candidate to pursue licensure by attempting the NAPLEX one final time under the time condition set by the Commission.
