Should the licensed pharmacist examination be suspended or postponed?

Due to the impact of the epidemic, various examinations across the country have been postponed. So far, Gansu, Ningxia, Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and other provinces and regions have suspended the 2022 licensed pharmacist examination. There are also examination areas in Hunan (Shaoyang, Zhuzhou, Huaihua) and Shandong (Dongying, Linyi, Weifang, Liaocheng, Jining, Tai'an, Zaozhuang, Dezhuang, Zibo) and other examination areas that have suspended the 2022 licensed pharmacist examination.

At present, all regions have only suspended exams and have not made it clear that they will no longer be held. Officials will decide whether to arrange make-up exams based on the epidemic situation. As for whether areas that have suspended examinations can go to other provinces and cities to conduct examinations, Tibetan officials have responded: The licensed pharmacist examination is organized nationwide, and other provinces and cities that normally hold examinations have been arranged according to the plan and cannot be adjusted.

This is an issue that many candidates are very concerned about, but candidates can rest assured that Tibet and Ningxia provinces, which have suspended examinations this year, made it clear in the candidates’ Q&A: If the country no longer arranges unified make-up examinations, the unified arrangements will be made for successful candidates. Candidates do not need to apply for a refund, and the paid fees will be fully refunded to the original payment account. For exams that implement rolling management of qualified scores, the validity period of qualified scores will be extended for one year.
