Created in Partnership with McGraw Hill
Two powerful exams to equip pharmacy schools
Pre-APPE Readiness Assessment (PARA) helps pharmacy schools evaluate student readiness for APPE and support accreditation by providing meaningful performance insights benchmarked against national comparison data.
P1 Readiness Assessment identifies at-risk students early on in their programs by evaluating foundational knowledge required for PharmD success and uncovering gaps for proactive support.

P1 Readiness Assessment
While admitted students may fulfill prerequisites on paper, more and more are arriving underprepared for their PharmD programs. P1 Readiness Assessment enables pharmacy schools to identify at-risk students and set them up for success starting from day one. Delivered through ExamSoft, the assessment evaluates basic knowledge and skills needed in any PharmD program.
Set up for success from day 1
Developed with a cross-disciplinary approach, the exam covers calculations (ranging from secondary math to technician level), anatomy/physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, critical thinking, and other fundamentals.
Reporting comparing individual and cohort performance to national data helps guide self-directed learning in McGraw Hill’s AccessPharmacy.
By mimicking the length, structure, and question types of the NAPLEX, the exam familiarizes students with the NAPLEX experience.
