I failed NAPLEX :-(((((((((

[Tattoo]

Well, as for my preparation, I went through CPR and APHA. Also, I used some Internet sources.
I had so much trouble analyzing a patient profile. I don’t even know why. Some profiles had too many meds from the same group, so it was difficult for me to choose the right one.
Another thing is, I didn’t know some brand names, because I was concentrating mostly on the most common meds (200) but, unfortunately, it wasn’t enough.
I guess, everything went wrong that day. I got discouraged much too fast, because I didn’t know the right answer , then I couldn’t concentrate on the rest of the questions.

Sorry to hear about that.....dont loose hope. You will surely get thru this. Did you took pre naplex before your exam? If so, what was your score?

I didn't take pre NAPLEX. It was my big mistake.

I appeared for NAPLEX today. The first q was really tough. I had lots of calculations of IV flow rate, Mili eq and also One ful case on Renal clearance of a drug, Also I had FEW QUESTIONS ON CLINCAL TRIAL INTERPRITATION.

I do not know how many i did correct as I found everything was new to me and I do not really know what will be my score. I personally feel I am going to fail for sure. This was my second time and i realy feel that There is hardly anything that we can use in real retail set up from NAPLEX test. Any other opinion?

that's the thing. i didn't even had a chance to do internship before NAPLEX.
I think if I would do it first for sure my performance might be much better.
I took MPJE recently.Don't know what to think.
i hope I passed, but who knows.
I made some stupid mistakes, but I realized that only after MPJE was taken.
So, we'll see.

hey tattoo, I am guessing you already did thy re-sit, how was it ? I also fail my 1st attempt but hey.. I fill better when I tell everybody! u will be surprise how quickly Earthlings r willing to help, and the % failure recently is so HIGH! I also feel like a bomber( 1st time failing an exam) but I realize i did not prepare in the right away, I thought it was a basic exam, but was rudely awaken. I need to spend 1 wk doing calc to develop speed and accuracy to be honest they were fairly easy but I take too long to get to the answer. so time ran out on me. and I know what you mean about drugs in the same class and they want u to pinpoint the drug causing the problem, when we r more farmiliar with class effect not spicific drug effect, I even got a molecule structure to identify the ring. Anyway I will pray that u do better at thy next try and i am sure u will pass this time.just remember the math ques carries a lot of weight in term of grades. so know those well!!

Any one in the connecticut area studying for resit? I want to do mine in end of Sept - Oct. e-mail at mzacca@gmail.com

You might be surprised, but I still don’t have a courage to take the NAPLEX.
I haven’t done it yet, because I’m so scared to fail again. I read my books frequently, but I’m not really sure what to concentrate on. Although, I signed up for the test on July 6th, but I think I’m going to change that date again. I feel like I’m not ready and don’t know what to do with that feeling.
The fact that I failed hit me pretty bad.
I guess I need a little kick to move forward.:-))

hey Alinar, but it is that fear that actually cause you to blank out in these exams and contributes to failure! I realized I was not prepared to do this exam at all! I have been in communication with Buzz, the creator of PRONTO PASS and I am sorry I did not discovery him before now.He is so encouraging and I have ordered the PRONTO PASS COMBO and that is all I will be using to do this.I like it because it will take you step by step of hard studying in an organized fashion and advises u on how much time to dedicate to each area, that self testing cards are awesome!! I hope you have at least 40 hrs of Math practise under thy belt, that is whre the bulk of the marks come from... I though I failed terrible but still ended up with a 65 because I keep miissing the MATH ques. and another thing if you do not at least feel 90 % ready, put it off !! Anyway all the best on your next try. and prayer. works..

Hey, guys,
I took pre-NAPLEX yesterday, and I cored 91.I know that it’s not the best possible result but how good or bad is that? I scheduled NAPLEX on July 6th and I’m not sure if I should postpone it or not. Any advice?
I’ll keep studying anyway of course.
