Help

So, here is a little background on my journey so far. On my first attempt, I failed both the MCQ and the OSPE. On my second attempt, I passed the MCQ. Then, on my third attempt, I unfortunately still failed the OSPE in April 2026.

I honestly do not know how to feel. I only have one attempt left, and I am feeling really discouraged. I do not know what to do. I feel like I know the material.

It is also difficult because the people I practice and study with often end up passing, while I do not. I am genuinely happy for them, so please do not get me wrong. But at the same time, I am starting to feel a little stupid and very confused.

This is the final step in my journey to becoming a pharmacy technician, and no matter how hard I try, I just cannot seem to pass the OSPE.

What makes it even more stressful is that my SPT registration expires in November. That means I have one more chance to write the exam in September and, hopefully, pass so I can finally complete the pharmacy technician pathway.

If I do not pass before my SPT expires, I may have to let it lapse and complete the PACE program along with rewriting the OSPE final attempt.

It is just really overwhelming because I feel like I am so close to the finish line, yet I keep falling short.

Thank you for reading and taking the time to understand my problem in advance 🥹
