Beginning with the August 2023 NPLEX administration:

• The cost to take the NPLEX Examinations has increased (see Fees).
• The Cancellation and Refund policies have been updated.
• Part II Applicants no longer need to request to have a Part I transcript sent to the jurisdiction of their choice. NABNE will send a transcript of Part I (or previous results) for each Part II applicant and will send the report of their exam results to the same regulatory authority they indicate on their application.
• After August 2023, the NPLEX will no longer be administered in Connecticut.
• Requests for courtesy accommodations for the August 2023 NPLEX administration must be submitted to NABNE via the Courtesy Accommodations Request Form no later than May 31, 2023. To receive a copy of the Courtesy Accommodations Request Form, contact NABNE at testingaccommodations@nabne.org
• Examinees will no longer be allowed to use noise-canceling headsets in the testing room. You can request to use a noise-reducing headset, which NABNE will provide, by submitting a Courtesy Accommodations Request Form no later than May 31, 2023.

• After you receive your results from the current NPLEX administration, you may request to have a transcript that includes both your NPLEX Part I and Part II exam results sent to additional regulatory authorities. Submit your Transcript Request and payment of US$30 online. Transcript requests are typically processed within 3-5 business days of receipt.
• Official transcripts of NPLEX exam results must be sent directly from NABNE. A transcript sent directly to you will be unofficial and will be noted as such.
