Click "Take a Self-Assessment" to start designing your own test.
Decide when you want to see the answers. You will always see the correct answers at the end of the test. You can also choose to see the correct answer right after you answer the question.
Decide what type(s) of questions you want to see. You can see only knowledge-based questions, only application-based questions, or a combination of both. Knowledge-based are questions such as "What drugs are used to treat this condition?" or "What are side-effects of this drug." Application-based questions will give you a case and ask you to make a decision about that case.
Decide which competency area you want.
Decide if you care whether you have already seen a question or not. You can study only questions that are new to you, review questions that you have already answered incorrectly, or see a mix of new and old questions. Decide what works best for you.
Decide what topics you want to include. The default option is "All Subjects". If you only want to see specific subjects, you will need to tell the system which ones to use. Choose as many as you want.
(Optional) Check how many questions meeting those criteria are available. You will need to enter the number of questions you want before the site will calculate the possible number of questions.
You can change your choices and re-calculate if you want.
Click "Start Test" to finish creating your test.
Your test will begin when you click "Start Self-Assessment." You will see the first question along with the answer choices. Select your answer. Then, click "Submit Answer."
If you set the test to show you correct answers right away, you will see what the correct answer was and why. In addition, questions you answered correctly will turn green and questions that you answered incorrectly will turn red.
Use the "Next Question" and "Previous Question" buttons to switch between questions. Or, just click on the number of the question you want to go to. You can skip over a question if you are not sure of an answer. You can revisit a question you have already answered. (If you set your test to show correct answers right away, though, you cannot change your answers.)
(Optional) You can write a note to yourself. The "Add a Note" box appears below the "Submit Answer" button and any information about the answer to the question. Start typing your message in the box, then click "Save Note." To remove a note, delete what you typed in the "Add a Note" box and click "Save Note" again.
You can also flag a question to mark a question you want to look at again later. Click the "Flag this question" link. If you change your mind later, you can click the "Unflag this question" link in that same spot.
Small icons will appear next to questions that you have flagged or added notes to. Questions you have flagged will have a small flag. Questions you have added notes to will have a small square. (These are the same icons you see next to the link to flag a question and the label for the box to add a note.)
You do not need to finish the test all at once. Click the "Save Self-Assessment & Resume Later" link to stop in the middle of a test. Your test will be saved on your NAPLEX review page. You can return to it at any time. Or, you can leave it unfinished forever, or delete it.
When you want to finish the test, go back to your NAPLEX Review page and click "Resume Test." Note that the system will tell you how many questions you have not answered. If you had set the test to show correct answers right away, it will also tell you your score based on the number of questions you have answered.
You can pick up right where you left off. Click "Submit for Final Grading" when you have answered all of the questions.
You will see a quick report on how you did. If you want to review a question, click on the link for that question. You will see the question and all of the options, the correct answer, what you chose, and an explanation of why the answer is correct. If you had added a note or a flag to that question, you will also see that information.
You will also see a list of all materials you might wish to review for the questions you answered.
