Common Traps
Wrong Exam Identity
New York uses state-specific MPJE ≠ UMPJE materials target different scope
Retired Format Claims
Use current 120-question format ≠ Ignore outdated prep breakdowns
Invented Numeric Cut
Results report pass or fail ≠ Numeric cut remains unpublished
Navigation Assumptions
Adaptive technology is published ≠ Verify navigation in current bulletin
Merged Fee Totals
NABP process totals $270 ≠ NYSED license fee stays separate
Wrong Attempt Scope
Five attempts per jurisdiction ≠ Jurisdiction scope matters
Blueprint Date Drift
Current outline ends February 2027 ≠ New outline starts March 2027
Experience Route Mix-up
PharmD separate internship exempt ≠ Other routes require documented hours
