Hi,
I took naplex 2 months ago and got only 65.i felt the exam was so easy including calculation part.The next day when I checked most of my questions were correct.The samething happened with few of my friends,but I know one friend did BS in USA took exam last month,was so scared as she got so many tough questions,but scored 143.
So what I understood is I might have done my tough and moderate questions wrong,thatwhy I got so many easy questions,eventhough I did easyones correct, they scored only few points.
So if u do so many tough questions correct,there r good chances of passing.
With my experience I feel the following r few of the imp topics for naplex
.OTC-pain killers, antacids, lice killing, hemarroids,laxativesThese r only very few,i feel happy if this information helps u in passing the exam.
