First PharmPrepPro Practice Exam

First, I want to preface - please no negative comments & this is a long post.

Now let's begin. Today I took my first PPP practice exam (I bought both). I am exactly 2 weeks from testing, and I've been reading others' comments about their scores, so I figured I'd go ahead and take one 2 weeks before the test date (June 4).

I also want to add that I have yet to cover thyroid disorders, autoimmune & steroids, compounding, psych, neurological disorders, and the other half of biostats. Right now, I'm about 65% finished with UWorld, and I scored a 65% today on PPP. (146/225) It took me about 4.5. hours to get through. I know that is still FAR from where I need to be, but it's something, and I needed to see where I was.

Moving from there, I know what I need to cover (the above) and then my gracious calculations, specifically compounding II in UWorld. With that being said, I plan to study the above topics over the next 4 days, then May 25-29, just review/read my notes, and then take 125 Q UWorld Exams daily to test my knowledge.

Then May 31 (Access Pharmacy Practice Exam), June 1 (UWorld Practice Exam), and June 2 (PPP Practice Exam 2) do more practice exams before my exam on June 4. I am very dedicated and focused well, so I guess my "looking for advice" question would be: Is this a good plan? Do we (I and y'all) think it's possible to be ready by June 4?

Thanks for any advice. Godspeed to everyone right now studying until they're blue in the face.

Pyrls Practice Exam

Took the Pyrls 225 Q practice exam today, AFTER sitting through a 5 hour law lecture lol. I am EXHAUSTED. Didn’t review anything, just took it. There were obviously topics I didn’t know (pain, thyroid, some gout, BIOSTATS (holy crap lol)). Anyways, I’m old school so I printed it off, did all 225 Q in 3.3 hours. Didn’t go back and recheck myself, etc. missed 63 out of 225 Q. 72% overall. No scaling based on 200 Q like NAPLEX, just straight 225 Q.

This is my first ever practice exam. Not taking NAPLEX until June 4. Thoughts? I feel pretty good, I still have 22 days until exam day and the topics I mentioned at the top I haven’t covered yet and this weekend I have the HighPrep crash course + will take UWorld and 2 PharmPrepPro exams closer to the end of the month to gage my knowledge and where I need to focus and then plan to give myself a week to review.

I've been on this subreddit for some time now, mentally preparing for the NAPLEX and KY MPJE, reading what everyone feels, what they say to focus on, etc. I got my ATT today for both exams, and the nerves are REAL. NAPLEX scheduled for June 4 and MPJE for June 16.

I'm 28 days out from my NAPLEX now. I've been using the UWorld question bank and then writing notes to go along with it, whether I got something right or wrong. I found this post where this girl had shared an overview of each chapter and got it made into a book, it's SO helpful. As of today, my overall performance on UWorld is 63% correct, and I've used 50% of the questions. Again, I'm using the question bank as a study tool, and truly focusing on the "why."

I plan to take the Pyrls practice test on 05/11, then keep studying, then on 05/16 and 05/17, I am doing the 2-DAY NAPLEX REVIEW WEBINAR with HighPrep, then studying some more. I am also incorporating a chapter or two from Foundations 1 and 2 into each day, as well as doing between 25 and 50 calculation questions a day. I purchased 2 PharmPrepPro practice exams, so leading up to my NAPLEX, I was going to take one on 05/23 to see where my strengths and weaknesses are, then save the other and the UWorld practice exam closer to my test date. I know ethics is also big, so I got the PPP ethics study guide that has the 20 questions with answers and explanations.

After my NAPLEX, I got Railbird tickets (lol I bought them 8 months ago, so I'm going!!) Anyways, that will give me a good little 2-day mental break and then June 8 hit it hard for KY MPJE as I will have 8 days before my exam. I purchased the Pharmacy Exam's KY MPJE question bank; there are 323 questions. I'm also doing the Peter Cohron KY class on May 12, and I purchased Kentucky MPJE Exam Prep: 225 Pharmacy Law Practice Questions, Third Edition on Amazon.

I know this is a long post, but I wanted to get feedback from anyone to see if these are good plans to have in place. I feel confident some days, and some days I just feel nervous. I'm studying around 6-8 hours a day right now as well. Thank you all for your advice and input.
