The listing is provided as a convenience for candidates; BPS and its Specialty Councils neither sponsor nor endorse training or educational opportunities in specialized practice areas or preparatory courses for any of the BPS examinations.

The Board publishes the content outline specific to each examination and strongly encourages candidates to become thoroughly familiar with this document. Content outlines are periodically updated to reflect changes in practice. Candidates should ensure that they are using the current outline for their specialty. A content outline listing the domains, tasks, and knowledge statements specific to each specialty practice is provided for the information of prospective candidates on the BPS website.
The content outline also notes the percentage of items per domain. Examination content outlines are developed through a nationwide study of the work pharmacy specialists perform in a variety of practice settings.
Examinations are not structured domain by domain. Instead, examination questions for each domain are distributed randomly throughout the total examination. While BPS examinations test the stated domains of each specialty, candidates are advised that the examinations sample content represented in each certification content outline.
New regulations, drugs, and therapies are incorporated into the examinations. All BPS specialty certification examinations reflect current, best practices, at the time they are constructed — practice guidelines used for the Spring examination are those that are current as of January 1 of the testing year.
Practice guidelines for the Fall examination are those that are current as of July 1 of the testing year. They are used strictly for illustrative purposes and not indicative of actual content on the examinations. BPS may also utilize alternate question types on some examinations including but not limited to multiple choice, multiple-correct response, drag and drop, and items supplemented with images and videos.

The candidate may not remove the note boards and candidates are not allowed to use their own scratch paper or writing tools.
Additionally, candidates taking the computer-based examination will be provided with a scientific calculator available on their computer screen for use during the examination. The examination room temperature can be unpredictable; therefore, we suggest that you bring appropriate clothing with you e.
Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise. If you choose to bring earplugs, they will be subject to inspection by the onsite staff. While LRP testing generally mirrors traditional in-center test processes, there are important disclosures to consider. For more details, please review the Live Remote Proctoring appendix below. Candidates are also permitted to wear medical rubber gloves in the test room.
The gloves should be briefly visually inspected per our security policies. Check the gloves for any notes concealed or written on them. All items are subject to inspection by the proctor. If onsite staff determines that a candidate has brought any of the items listed above to the examination site, they may request that candidates surrender them for safekeeping for an indefinite period. Upon completion of the review and any applicable deletions, BPS and Prometric will return the device to the candidate but will not be responsible for the deletion of any materials that may result from the review, whether or not such materials are examination materials.
BPS, Prometric, the examination site, and the test site staff are not liable for lost or damaged items brought to the examination site. Prometric will attempt to contact candidates in the event of a test site closure due to inclement weather to reschedule their appointment. However, because closures can occur at any time during inclement weather, it is the responsibility of the candidate to contact Prometric to receive the most up-to-date information regarding whether a center is open or to reschedule the examination appointment.
If a test site is officially closed, candidates will not be charged a rescheduling fee. If a site is open and the candidate does not keep his or her appointment, the candidate forfeits all fees. Four-option multiple-choice questions constitute the majority of examination items; however, most of the specialty examinations also use alternate item types such as, multiple-correct response, drag and drop, and items supplemented with images and videos.
Most technical issues are resolved quickly with a simple refresh of the screen or by the proctor logging you back into the examination. BPS specialty certification examinations are delivered via computer. While it is not the norm, technology issues can occasionally occur, as there could be software loading, keyboard, or other workstation issues.
These types of issues may require the proctor to log you back into your examination. If this happens, inform the proctor that you have a computer issue. If a technical issue lasts longer than 30 minutes and prevents you from continuing with the examination, you may choose to stop and reschedule to another day, or you may continue to wait for the resolution.
