About the CPJE Exam
The CPJE (California Practice Standards and Jurisprudence Examination for Pharmacists) is California's pharmacy jurisprudence examination, required for all pharmacist license applicants in California. Unlike the MPJE used in other states, the CPJE is developed and administered by the California Board of Pharmacy and covers both California-specific pharmacy law and clinical pharmacy practice, including knowledge of brand/generic medications, therapeutic drug plans, and patient counseling.
Exam sponsor: California Board of Pharmacy. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CPJE vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the CPJE vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 CPJE terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the CPJE terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the California Board of Pharmacy content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the CPJE passing score?
The CPJE requires a scaled score of 75 on a 0-99 scale to pass — this is not the same as answering 75% of items correctly. The exam consists of 90 questions (75 scored and 15 unscored pretest questions) administered over 2 hours. The exam is administered at PSI testing centers across California. Candidates who do not pass must wait 45 days before retesting, and those with 4 total failures must complete 16 semester units of remedial pharmacy education before retesting.
How is the CPJE different from the MPJE?
The CPJE is unique to California and differs significantly from the MPJE. While the MPJE focuses solely on pharmacy law (federal + state), the CPJE also includes clinical practice questions covering drug knowledge, therapeutic planning, adverse reactions, and patient counseling. California is the only state that uses its own jurisprudence exam rather than the MPJE.
