My NAPLEX is on Oct 6. I have been studying using PNN for about 2 months now. I have gone over the review book, reviewed on a daily basis, did practice questions and the like, but I just took 2 practice tests ... 68% first one and 65% the second one. I know I am so cooked.

I was never the best student in pharmacy school. I was held back a year and I was the lowest ranked student in my school -- our school said they don't rank but I overheard one of the faculty say I was the lowest rank. As my NAPLEX is coming up I am already walking in expecting to fail and already prospectively debating whether it's worth another try attempt NAPLEX fail.

Maybe it's best for me to just stay a technician.

I‘m honestly not in a good head space after this residency cycle. Phase I, Phase II, and even scramble now all have been unsuccessful.

Seeing so many “We regret to inform you” or “We have decided to give the position to another candidate“ amongst other phrases has just taken so much out of me. I’ve been spiraling downhill believing that I’m not qualified, competitive, or even smart enough as a candidate.

Is it even worth trying again next cycle?
Where do I go from here?
Should I be realistic and just stick to retail and just disregard my goals now?
