Passing Score for the Pharmacist Licensure Examination

A general weighted average of 75% with no rating below 50% in any subject. There is no conditional or deferred pass in the law. Source: RA 10918, Sec. 17.

Requirements to Take the Pharmacy Board Exam

Under RA 10918 (Philippine Pharmacy Act (2016)), an applicant for the Pharmacist Licensure Examination must:

• be a Filipino citizen, or a citizen of a country that grants Filipino pharmacists the same right (reciprocity)
• be of good moral character and reputation
• hold a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, or its equivalent, from a CHED-recognised institution in the Philippines or abroad
• have completed the internship program approved by the Board

Source: RA 10918, Sec. 14. PRC lists the exact documents for each round inside LERIS — typically the transcript of records with the remark “For Board Examination Purposes”, a PSA birth certificate, a PSA marriage certificate when filing under a married name, and the examination fee.

How to Apply for the Pharmacy Board Exam (LERIS)

1. Create or log in to your account on LERIS, PRC's Licensure Examination and Registration Information System, at online.prc.gov.ph.
2. Select the Pharmacist Licensure Examination and your preferred testing center.
3. Upload your documents and ID photo, then pay the examination fee through the available payment channels.
4. Book an appointment and submit your requirements at your chosen PRC office before the deadline.
5. File within the application window in the table above — late applications are not accepted except in justifiable cases defined by PRC rules.

Pharmacy Board Exam Results 2026: When and Where They Come Out

PRC's target release dates are April 22, 2026 for the Apr 18–19, 2026 exam and October 21, 2026 for the Oct 15–16, 2026 exam. The Apr 18–19, 2026 results were released on April 22, 2026. Targets are printed in the resolution — the actual release can land a few days either side and is announced only by PRC. AyTool does not host exam results or lists of passers; passing rates for every 2026 release are compared on the PRC Board Exam Results 2026 page.

1. prc.gov.ph — the official list of passers and the top 10, posted as a news release on prc.gov.ph and on PRC's official Facebook page.
2. Verification of Rating — your own scores per subject, through LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph once PRC opens the service for that exam.
3. News sites and review centers republish the list within hours; treat anything not on prc.gov.ph as unofficial.

Retakes

An applicant who fails for the third time may not take the next examinations without first completing a refresher program in an accredited institution; the Board issues the guidelines. Source: RA 10918, Sec. 17, second paragraph.

Pharmacy Board Exam 2027 Schedule: When PRC Publishes It

PRC has not yet released the 2027 schedule. It publishes the whole following-year calendar in one resolution, usually signed in late October and posted on prc.gov.ph in mid-November — the 2026 schedule (Resolution No. 2113, s. 2025) was signed on October 23, 2025 and posted on November 17, 2025 — so the pharmacy board exam 2027 dates are most likely out in November 2026. Each profession usually keeps the same months from one calendar to the next, so the 2026 rounds above are the working reference until then. This page switches to the official 2027 dates the day PRC publishes them.
