I 'm sorry guys , I never meant to scare you. Actually The Comprehensive Pharmacy Review is the worst but It's the best available . The Comprehensive Pharmacy Review is no more than just some compressed disorganized information . It's known that when you don't understand the information you forget it the next day. The Comprehensive Pharmacy Review never let you understand anything. The font is small and this is harmful for the eyes. No colors which gives the book a borring sense. You find some mistakes ( I mean scientific mistakes not typos ) . The book is not well-organized. A review book is supposed to be highly organized and full of tables and charts which are not seen very often in that book. And also pictures and diagrams are not seen . Pictures and diagrams makes memorizing very easy. The number of the questions at the end of each chapter are not enough, and some, even few, are answered incorrectly. But anyway It has lots of information so It's a good reference , but without understadning , whitout a strong background , It's hard to benefit from that book.
But don't worry It's the best available. People who use It pass. But for me , I can't just memorize an info without full understanding . That's why I prefer to start with individual books then move finally to The Comprehensive Pharmacy Review.

Sorry for scarring you, I didn't mean that.

I understand that sir, It's ok. No harm was done.
Thank you for answering.
What do you recommend ?! I know it maybe a little late to start over now but I will just do my best.

Actually The Comprehensive Pharmacy Review is the best available . Some people use Moris cody, som use Apha as well. But those are rare . Most of them just rely on The Comprehensive Pharmacy Review and shroff books, and that's enough I think.
Anyway no matter what review book you use, It needs you to have a strong background obtained from your college years in order to pass. Professors that create fpgee questions might just open the common review books and create questions about material that is not covered in those books, ya know.
