Hello all I may say for NAPLEX is to study all your materials very well, make sure you are good with CLINICAL *** and your LABS. This is the only way to master your exam. Ask any questions in the comment and I will reply. I wish all of you master that exam once. I did it I finally pass on my 3 rd attempts .
I only want to purchase one practice exam since I’m on a tight budget. Is the NABP or PPP a better score/readiness predictor overall in your opinion?
TIA!
Hey current/future pharmacists!
I’ve been studying for the last 3 months on and off. I took practice exams and my scores are pretty suboptimal. My exam is scheduled on the 16th (in 11 days). Should I reschedule or take the chance?
PharmPrePro scores are 72% and 70%.
Pre-Naplex is 81
Can people post what day they tested and if their score has been released yet? I tested the first of july and am still waiting ofc, but i’m curious where we are at? Had June 25th dates been released?
Pharmpreppro exam 1: 79
Nabp: 107
Both of these scores were about over a week ago.
Now on Pharmpreppro exam 2: 81
I test in a week. Based on what I’m seeing I should be fine, but I wanted to throw it out to you guys to be the true judge.
I also had a good amount of time left for all three exams ranging from about 30 minutes to an hour.
Did anyone only watch the lecture videos and do the Qbank and still pass?
First time taking the Naplex. How do the breaks work? What food and drink did you bring? What is something that you would bring that you didn't? Where do they put all the stuff you bring?
A few weeks ago I made a post sharing I was struggling with ADHD and had only read 3/4 of the Uworld book 8 days before I was scheduled to take the NAPLEX. My Uworld average was 67% at the time and I had done ~25% of the Uworld questions. I was asking for advice on how I should use the time I had left before I take the exam. Almost every single comment said I should reschedule, which was discouraging and stressful. Some people actually begged me to reschedule.
I wanted to share that I did not reschedule and still passed first try. My point is the advice on this page is very subjective. You know yourself better than anyone else. Take into account your own exam performance history.
If you are historically a good test-taker and had a high pharmacy GPA and strong rotations, you will probably pass first try. I passed the Pre-NAPLEX before I started studying for the real thing, but I still did study for the actual NAPLEX. Some may need to study more and some less than others.
I know everyone has good intentions on this sub and we're all just trying to help each other out, but it is very easy to be discouraged. Good luck to everyone, and take advice with a grain of salt.
Been studying on and off for months
Been doing alot of sitting cycling topics usually do a chapter do the questions. But after a couple days that’s chapter specifics I forget. I was taking PNN’s practice exam and I kept on getting some specifics wrong. I feel like my head is not able to retain or hold information. As if I need to fail first to get my nervous system to calm down or something. Sounds crazy let me know if anyone has related to this
Took my pre-Naplex a few days ago and scored a 104, and took the PPP today and scored 80%
Exam is in a week. Not sure if I feel ready or not.
What else could I do except daily math/stats/ethics and review in topics I scored low on plus 150-200 uWorld questions?
what did the calculations look like on the naplex? I'm primarily using uworld, some of the calculations are difficult, but calculations I, II, III aren't that bad. the clinical calculations chapter can get tough
I also have access to PNN. which resource was the best for math?
I take my Naplex on Thursday and I am so stressed it’s my first time ever taking it and I really don’t know what to expect. I’ve been doing test banks in uworld , PNN, and Pharmprep pro. I’m just stressed I’ll blank on the exam.
I don’t want to add anything else to my study resources outside of uworld but I know it doesn’t cover ethics I think.
Does it help with CPJE?
What are your recommendations?
To ease the anxiety of some people: If you did well in school and on rotations, the NAPLEX is honestly not hard. I took the exam for the first time recently and passed.
For my studying of the actual exam, I studied 4 weeks, 6 hours per day by reading the RX Prep book. I only did the math and biostats questions from the UWorld question bank, which was like a total of 200 questions out of 3000. I didn't take any practice exams or tests prior to the NAPLEX. The NAPLEX itself was pretty spread out in terms of content, but for my exam, it was heavier on the following:
I wouldn't recommend to do what I did in terms of studying, but again, if you were strong in school and on rotations, I would not worry too much.
people are saying pnn math is needed and its harder. meanwhile some questions are just weird
Were the compounding questions on the NAPLEX pretty straightforward? What type of questions? Where should I focus my studying?
Just saw on their Instagram that they're running a sale this weekend - $15 off $50+. Code is USA250. Figured Id post here in case anyone wasn't following them and was looking to save $$$
Will we be getting our results today or do we have to wait until Monday?
