Timed mock exam · 200 questions · 4 h 30
Practise until Part I stops being the obstacle to your Canadian licence
1,650 original multiple-choice questions across the nine areas of the PEBC Part I blueprint — therapeutics by body system, pharmaceutical calculations and compounding, pharmacokinetics, Canadian pharmacy law and ethics, and patient care. Every explanation says why the answer is right, why the others are wrong, and names its source.
What candidates ask before starting
Straight answers about Part I, about what this platform is, and about what it is not.
What exactly is Part I of the Qualifying Examination?
It is the multiple-choice component of the Pharmacist Qualifying Examination administered by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada. The PEBC publishes the format: 200 multiple-choice questions, of which 150 are scored and 50 are pre-test items used for future examinations, in a session of about four and a half hours delivered through a test centre or online proctoring. Part II is a separate performance examination (OSCE).
Does this platform reproduce the official examination?
No, and nobody can. The PEBC states plainly that no questions from previous examinations are available. Every question here is original work written for this platform and structured on the published Part I blueprint and the NAPRA entry-to-practice competencies. What we reproduce is the announced format — 200 questions, four and a half hours — not the content of any examination.
Why does the mock exam use a 70 % threshold?
Because the PEBC reports Part I as a standardised score and does not publish a pass mark as a percentage. Any site that advertises an official percentage is inventing it. Seventy per cent is our own training threshold, chosen to be demanding rather than reassuring, and it is labelled as ours everywhere it appears.
Is this platform connected to the PEBC?
No. PharmacistExamCanada is an independent private study service, operated by PAUL BREMOND SAS. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, associated with or authorised by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada, by any provincial or territorial college of pharmacists, by NAPRA or by Health Canada. The PEBC neither approves nor accredits preparation courses of any kind.
Who is this written for?
Internationally educated pharmacists preparing to register in Canada outside Quebec, and candidates repeating Part I. The PEBC reports a first-attempt pass rate of 35.6 % for international graduates and 47.1 % on a repeat attempt, against 87.2 % for Canadian graduates — the gap this platform is aimed at is the first of those three numbers, not the last.
Can I trust the numbers in the calculation questions?
Every calculation question was recomputed independently in Python from the wording of the question, and the result compared with the published answer: 96 questions, zero discrepancies. The script is part of the build, so the check runs again whenever the corpus changes. In pharmacy a wrong number is not a content error, it is a hazard, and we treat it that way.
What sources are the explanations based on?
Canadian clinical practice guidelines (Diabetes Canada, Hypertension Canada, the Canadian Thoracic Society, Osteoporosis Canada, Thrombosis Canada, NACI and others), CPhA Therapeutic Choices, Canadian product monographs, NAPRA model standards and national drug schedules, the Food and Drugs Act, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act with the Narcotic Control Regulations, and ISMP Canada. Every explanation names the source it rests on.
Does this replace the PEBC document evaluation or Part II?
No. Registration involves document evaluation, both parts of the Qualifying Examination, language requirements and provincial registration including a jurisprudence assessment. This platform prepares you for the multiple-choice Part I and nothing else.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time from your account, with no notice period and no penalty. Cancelling stops the next renewal and your access continues to the end of the period already paid for.
Can I study from my phone?
Yes. The platform works on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and your progress follows your account rather than the device.
