PharmaLeap by JR Consulting

Your leap toward Canadian pharmacy licensure.

PharmaLeap is a study and testing portal built specifically for the PEBC Qualifying Examination — a 2,433-question practice bank mapped to the real MCQ blueprint, a full 200-question / 260-minute exam simulation, and a growing set of resources for the rest of the licensure path. Accounts are reviewed before access is granted, so every applicant's progress and results stay tied to a real, verified profile.

What it's like inside

Six sections, one loop: find what you don't know, drill it until you do, then prove it under exam conditions.

Dashboard

Know what to study next, not just how you did

Coverage across the six official competencies, weighted exactly the way Part I weights them — so the 50% of the exam that is Clinical Care gets 50% of your attention.

  • Tell it your exam date and it works out a daily target to cover the bank in time
  • A readiness score blending coverage with accuracy, and what to work on next
  • Study streak, questions due for review, and your score trend over time
Quiz

Every answer explained — including the ones you didn't pick

Build a test by competency, topic or keyword, or tick one box to draw questions in the real blueprint proportions. Answers come back immediately, with the reasoning for each option.

  • Search the bank by keyword when you want to test something you've just read
  • Flag anything to come back to, and write your own private note on any question
  • Stamina Builder: a 100-question, 130-minute run for practising the sit itself
Flashcards

Spaced repetition that schedules itself

Read the vignette, reveal the answer, rate yourself. Anything you find hard comes back tomorrow; anything you know cold comes back in a month. You never decide what to review.

  • Filter to a single competency or topic, or let it choose from what's due
  • Your ratings decide when each card comes back; your quiz and exam answers measure accuracy
  • Keyboard-driven: space to reveal, 1–4 to rate, arrows to move
Exam Simulation

A dry run that feels like the real thing

200 questions, 260 minutes, one sitting, no feedback until you submit — including the 50 unscored pretest items PEBC mixes in. The clock runs server-side, so closing the tab doesn't stop it.

  • Runs under exam conditions: fullscreen, on-screen scientific calculator, no switching away
  • A pre-exam check-in walks through the room setup a real sitting expects
  • An optional camera check reports how often you looked away — processed on your device, never uploaded
  • Locked until you've built up enough practice, with an override if you insist
Progress

Weakest topic first, every time you open it

Mastery across all 40-odd topics, sorted so the gaps are at the top. Every past quiz and simulation stays reopenable — go back through exactly what you missed, months later.

  • Score trend over time, so you can see improvement rather than guess at it
  • Download a progress report as a PDF for a tutor or a study group
  • A practice benchmark for orientation — PEBC scores the real exam on a scaled pass mark
Notes

A crib sheet for the whole blueprint

Plain-reading reference under every competency — no questions, no scoring. Read a section end to end, or jump straight to whatever your dashboard says is weakest.

  • Searchable, and organised by the same competencies the exam uses
  • Your own notes on individual questions collect in one place under Flagged
  • Everything you write stays private to your account

Dashboard

Your leap forward

Track coverage across the six competencies in PEBC's published Part I (MCQ) blueprint, weighted the way the blueprint weights them.

Competencies

Every question in the bank is tagged to one of these six areas, per PEBC's published blueprint. The percentage shown is each competency's share of Part I (MCQ).

Today's session

One click: what's due for review, then your weakest topics, then new questions in exam proportion — sized to your plan.

Study next

Topics where your accuracy is lowest, based on your quiz and exam answers so far. Practise 10 starts a scored quiz on the topic, questions you've missed first, with the answer shown after each one.
Notes

Competency reference

A plain-reading crib sheet of the key points under each competency — no questions, no scoring. Read a section top to bottom, or jump straight to a weak spot.

Pharmacology

Drug classes at a glance

One card per class: the drugs worth knowing, what goes wrong with them, what to watch, and one line to remember. Open a card for one layer at a time, or study the cards that are due.

Flashcards

Question-by-question review

Read the vignette, reveal the answer, then rate yourself so your dashboard reflects what still needs work.

Quiz

Build a test

Choose scope, length, and pacing. Tick Show the answer after each question to see the answer and every option's explanation as you go; leave it off to review everything at the end. Either way, every question is explained — unlike exam simulation, which tells you nothing until you submit.

Match PEBC's published MCQ blueprint
Draw questions proportionally to PEBC's actual Part I (MCQ) weighting — 50% Clinical Care, 20% Distribution, 11% Knowledge, 4% Communication, 3% Leadership, 12% Professionalism — instead of the filters below.

Stamina Builder

Training for the length of the real thing — not a shorter version of it.

100 questions in a single 130-minute block, drawn across the competencies in the same proportions as the real exam. Sitting still and staying sharp for hours is its own skill, separate from knowing the material — this is how you practise it without spending a whole afternoon.

This is not a substitute for the full simulation. When you're ready for a genuine dry run, that's the 200-question, 260-minute sitting under Exam Sim.

How you did

Exam Simulation

Full-length practice exam

As close to the real PEBC Qualifying Exam Part I as a study tool can get: 200 questions, 260 minutes, one sitting, no feedback until you submit the whole thing.

Of the 200 questions, 150 count toward your score and 50 are unscored "pretest" items mixed in — matching PEBC's own published exam structure. On the real exam you're never told which items were pretest; here, results will label them so you can still learn from every question.

Progress

Attempt history & topic mastery

A practice benchmark of 70% is shown for orientation only — PEBC scores the real exam on a scaled pass mark, not a fixed percentage.

Topic mastery

Weakest first. Based on every quiz answer and exam simulation; flashcard self-ratings schedule reviews but don't count toward accuracy.

Analytics

Demographics and performance across every approved student — filter to run this on a specific group.

Exam conditions

How full simulations are actually being sat across the filtered cohort. If most candidates are switching away mid-exam that's a coaching signal, not a discipline one — and it's not proctoring either way.

Revenue

Subscription health beside the cohort data. Stripe's dashboard has the authoritative numbers — this is here so you can see which groups convert, which only this app knows.

Where applicants come from

Applications in the period, by the "How did you hear about us?" answer and by the first site or campaign that brought them, with how many were approved and how many now have access. Campaign sources are recorded once the public website is live.

Billing & add-ons

Payments are live through Stripe once switched on; the pharmacology review is a separate switch.
Accept payments
Once real Stripe keys are also configured: shows pricing to students, and actually locks MCQ content for anyone without an active subscription. Flip carefully — existing students without a subscription lose access the moment this is on.
Pharmacology review open to students
Shows the Pharmacology tab and its drug-class cards to every student with MCQ access. Off = staff only, which is where it stays until the cards have been reviewed.
Free sample for students without a plan
An approved student with no subscription or grant gets ten sample questions, every option explained, before choosing a plan. Their first answers count toward their progress.
Follow-ups to approved students without a plan
Two short emails, 2 and 7 days after approval, pointing to the free sample and the plans. Each has its own unsubscribe link; held until a mailing address is saved below.

The AI tutor is opened or closed in Admin → AI Tutor ("Open to students").

Exam conditions

How the full simulation behaves. None of this is real proctoring — a browser can't see the room — it's feedback for the candidate about their own exam behaviour.
Run the exam under exam conditions
Fullscreen, on-screen calculator, copy blocked, and a count of interruptions reported back with the result.
Offer webcam look-away monitoring
Adds an opt-in checkbox on the exam start screen. Video is processed on the student's own device and never uploaded or stored — only a look-away count is saved. Leave this off unless you've decided you want to offer it.

Re-engagement

Email students who've gone quiet. Always shows you who it would reach before sending anything, and never emails the same person twice inside the window.
days of silence (0 switches it off)

Email footer and failed payments

Every email ends with the business name and mailing address, as Canada's anti-spam law requires. The weekly summary and study reminders are held until a mailing address is saved here; a PO box is fine.
days of access while Stripe retries the card (0 ends access at the first failure)

Exam sittings

The PEBC MCQ dates students can pick on their dashboard. One per line, YYYY-MM-DD Label; past dates drop off on their own. Check pebc.ca when a new year is announced — this used to need a deploy.

Sign-in security

Each student account can be signed in on one device at a time — a new sign-in signs the previous device out. A sign-in that could not physically follow the account's last sign-in or sign-out (Toronto at noon, Lagos at one) is refused and the account put on hold. The student is emailed a one-time link, good for 48 hours, to release the hold if the sign-in was theirs; a second hold within 30 days of releasing one waits for you to clear it from the student's page. Positions come from the edge network's IP estimate, so VPNs can trigger it; the limit below is deliberately generous.
km/h — nothing under 500 km ever counts (0 switches the check off)

Study settings

These used to be constants in the frontend. The benchmark in particular is shown to a student on every result.
