I AM BACK FROM NAPLEX!

each day of waiting is adding a ton of weight on my head.

Hi fpgee1,

Your exam experience is in line with most of others -- definitely like mine -- I too had rushed too fast in the beginning -- had roughly 20 more minutes than the number of questions left at the scheduled 10 min break. I too made silly mistakes -- had one structure question -- had more math -- simple ones,but multiple steps-- towards the end -- the final question was indeed a multi step math question and I was left with 3 minutes to do that.

You will do fine with your result. It will be very difficult to turn your mind away from not thinking of the result and not looking at this forum all day for some info.

Hi YESYOUCAN, have you gotten your results?and if so how long did it take for it?

[YESYOUCAN]

fpgee1,

Yes. I did pass. It took one week. Depends on the state you are.

I really do not know how other got there part ,but i got 90% profiles which also included math.so i had to concentrate a lot and roll my eyes all over the profile to make sure i am not missing any thing important.
One interesting part was, i got a figure from onchology.And my test ended with more of math questions, which were simple i don't know if easy math means lesser scope, i really don't want that to happen.

hi fpgee1, pls clarify about the figure from onchology. I remember, ninah had some pics too. What are the pics about, we dont have any thing in APHA to prepare for that. Is that just easy to understand with common sense or do you want us to prepare better with some more internet use?

hi YESYOUCAN, did you have a chemical structure? Do you want us to refer to FPGEE level chemistry?

[fpgee1]

actually i never came across this drug in APHA based on which the figure needed to be interpretted, i guess its a dummy question or so..i am not sure.If you had time and aiming high scores definately you can see some more extensive internet material, but if you have the test in near future don't panic with these things, as you might come across like 1 or 2 at the most.

[lilcal]

You shouldn't worry. I've read that if you got chemical structure questions which obviously are hard cause most people don't know the right answer, you did FINE on the exam.

[I can do it!]

thanks! pls tell me if chapters 7 Biotech and pharmacogenomic and 35 Toxicology and bioterr. are important? How much do I focus on them? And also is it ok, not to read Law chapter for NAPLEX?

[fpgee1]

thanks lilcal,the words from you guys are really boosing my confidence which i desperately need at this time.
I can do it! i have never heard people saying they have got any questions from law chapter same was with me,i perticularly did not get any questions from biotech,and did get couple from toxicology and bioterr.
Actually i expected a lot from HIV,cancer,cns,from these i got, may be 1-2 thats it !which disappointed me.Lot of the concentration i felt was given to asthma, diabetes,couple from cvs,akd,ckd,geriatrics,pediatrics,tpn,otc,anti-infectives,much of the math was concntrated in the areas like osmolarity, kinetics,dilutions and concentrations,tpn.
This is the from the best i remember,and i would not suggest you to concentrate on these and not the rest,do touch every part of the sylabus except law.
