This learning app contains 5,168 questions from past pharmacist national examinations, covering 15 examinations from the 97th (2012) to the 111th (2026), with explanations provided for all mandatory questions, pharmaceutical theory questions, and pharmaceutical practice questions.
The pharmacist national examination consists of 345 questions in total: 90 mandatory questions and 255 general questions (105 pharmaceutical theory questions and 150 pharmaceutical practice questions), presented over two days and in six sections. Each question is worth 2 points, for a total of 690 points. To pass, the total score must be above the passing score for that examination (426 points or higher out of 686 for the 111th examination), plus a score of 70% or higher on the mandatory questions, 30% or higher on each of the seven mandatory subjects, and no more than two incorrect selections. This resource can be used for pharmacy students' national exam preparation, from passing the mandatory section to practicing individual subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, hygiene, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, pathophysiology/pharmacotherapy, laws/regulations/ethics, and practical skills.

The mock exams are judged based on the publicly announced passing score.
