Passed naplex with 105... my experience

[ropes]

Hello everyone and thank you forum for all the useful information posted here. I couldn't have done it without all your help. I still have another frontier to cross THE MPJE and the results are awaited Like everyone else who have posted their experience with the test I am posting mine:

Firstly don't take everything for granted that's posted in this forum. 70% is shear personal opinions than actual facts. Rest 30% is what you want to believe and follow. For those looking for it here's my experience with naplex:

Preparation time: 4 months divided in three parts - 2 months to get accustommed to your study material, 1 month to study seriously and last 1 month for rigorous studies.

Study material: 60% leon shargel, 20% APHA and 10% Kaplan notes. Rest 10% is what you learn in your practice while interning.

Practice: Do a lot of practice questions. I got at least 30 questions that I had actually read thru before hand. That leaves you only 45 more to pass. Appleton, pharmsuccess, pre-naplex must be on your list of material for practice questions and tests.

Important topics: You can not afford to go wrong on any of the 15% of the calculation questions. They are the easiest questions in this exam. Make yourself familiar with all kind of calculations asked in naplex. Pharmacology is the backbone of this exam, do all topics thoroughly related to cardiac system. Make sure you can answer each question asked on this topic comfortably. Calculations + Cardiac System + Practice Questions + Probability = 75 score. Anything beyond that is extra

If you haven't scored more than 90 in both prenaplex and pharmsuccess tests don't go for the exam. You will simply not make it. But if you do score more than 90 on these practice tests go to the exam knowing that you will make it.

congrats rope. i am new to this forum and preparing for naplex. i read so many posts saying that prenaplex and pharmsuccess practice tests are not worth but many say it was good. you also mentioned about them. can you tell me how do you review them and what is their relevance with the naplex preparation. which is better in your opinion prenaplex or pharmsucess? i will really appreciate a reply.

good luck for the mpje results.

I am taking my licensing exams for Florida X1000.

To address your question Kalyani it will not be wise for me to say that prenaplex or pharmsuccess practice tests were worthless. Both of these exams serve the purpose of acclimatizing you with the test environment pertaining to naplex. My score on prenaplex was way off the first time. My naplex score was more like my pharmsuccess score or second attempt of prenaplex. They are all different.

As I mentioned before most of the posts here are personal opinions. People will condemn the material if it didn't work out to their expectations. The best strategy is to use your own judgement. Contemplating the fact that failure is not an option go with your insticts and you will not falter. Don't expect any kind of spoonfeeding because such a thing doesn't exist when it comes to professional exams. The best you can do is give it your best shot and hope for the best. Leaving room for uncertainity can cost you dearly and it will not help regreting it later.

Just because bunch of people are saying some material is not good doesn't make it worthless and vice versa.

I completely agree with ropes. It's not just unwise but misdirection to all of us when someone simply rejects a material or endorse one without real reasoning.

I will urge all members of this forum to at least give us a brief review of the material when you are against it or when you are for it. That will be a great help for all of us who look up to you to guide us in our pursuit of pharmacy license.

Thank you ropes for all your inputs and best of all the luck for your mpje.

Hey Ropes,
Congrats!!! Good job. U'r advice above seems helpful. I'm new to this forum n actually starting to prepare for NAPLEX. Finished my internship from Maryland.

Quick question: Do we really hav to know the top 200 Brand names??
How about their dosages? seems like too much info to mug up.
