The next GPhC registration assessment you can apply for is on Tuesday 15 June 2027, and results come out on Tuesday 20 July 2027. If you need a reasonable adjustment, apply by 12 noon on Monday 11 January 2027 for an earlier decision, and no later than 5pm on Wednesday 17 February 2027. The GPhC hasn't published the application window yet.

Can I sit in June 2027?

You need approved foundation trainee pharmacist status, and you must have started training in the right window for your statutory education body (SEB):

June 2027 (summer): you started training in your SEB's summer 2026 window
November 2027 (autumn): you started training in your SEB's autumn 2026 window

If you're not sure, check with your SEB. On a sandwich or integrated course, your university will advise you. Trainees in Northern Ireland have extra requirements set by the Pharmaceutical Society NI.

Do I need my 39-week review signed off first?

Not any more. Since January 2026, eligibility to sit hasn't been linked to the 39-week progress review. You decide when you're ready, with input from your designated supervisor (DS). The GPhC publishes "Ready to apply" guidance to help trainees and supervisors make that call.

That flexibility is useful, but it puts the responsibility on you. Only apply when you're genuinely ready, because each sitting counts towards your maximum of three attempts.

How is the exam set out?

	Part 1	Part 2
Content	Pharmacy and healthcare calculations	Clinical therapeutics, law, governance and practice
Questions	40, free-entry numerical answers	120: 90 single best answer and 30 extended matching
Time	2 hours	2.5 hours
Calculator	Approved model or on-screen calculator	On-screen calculator only where needed

You have to reach the pass mark in both parts at the same sitting. The pass mark is set for each sitting: in June 2025 it was 24 out of 40 for Part 1 and 79 out of 120 for Part 2.

What should I be doing between now and June 2027?

When	What to do
November to December	Read the GPhC assessment framework. Start daily calculations practice, even 15 minutes.
January	Check your eligibility. Book time with your supervisor to talk about readiness. Focus on high-weight clinical areas.
By 11 January	Send any reasonable adjustment request, with evidence, for the early panel. The final deadline is 5pm on 17 February.
When the window opens	Apply straight away. Late applications aren't processed.
March to April	Cover the remaining clinical topics, then law and ethics and OTC. Move on to mixed, timed questions.
May	Sit a full mock under exam timings and review every mistake.
June	Light review of weak areas, plan your journey to the test centre, and sleep.
