The test submission deadline for the current releases in ACCP's four Self-Assessment Programs (SAPs) is January 16, 2018. However, board-certified pharmacotherapists can receive earned recertification credits for 2017 simply by submitting a SAP test before midnight (CST) on December 31.

Recertification credits from SAP posttests are registered with the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) as being earned on the date of test submission. Posttests successfully submitted now through December 31 will earn 2017 credits; posttests successfully submitted January 1-16 will earn 2018 credits.
