  1. Hey I am selling my Rxprep 2016 book for $75 including shipping. Its used/ some chapters highlighted. PNN notes/charts/question bank $300 minimum + shipping. It used/chapters highlighted/notes written. Also selling my Dipiro textbook. $40 + shipping charges. If you buy any of these, i will give you access to the quizlet notecards i had prepared. Good luck with everyone studying. If anyone needs any advice/tips or have any question please message me .
  2. PassNaplexNow Advantages: Easy to follow powerpoint slides. Dr. Goldie and Dr. Ali does a fantastic job with the lecture. They teach you in a way that helps you retain information. They give you brilliant mnenomics to memorize the difficult things, and the emphasis they put on a specific drugs during lectures helps alot!! I personally felt the lectures are straight to the point of what you need to know for the exam. They have LIVE LECTURES (I did not attend any), and ONLINE LECTURES. I only bought the online lectures so that i can go over it at my convenience. First time i went through it in 7 days. Chart booklet provided (Includes some of the major disease states) They provide question bank booklet. They have the same question online as well if you want to practice that way. THIS ARE MUST! in my opinion. The questions i felt helped me prepared and gave me confidence to sit for the board exam. Disadvantages: They could do a better job with the biostatistics chapter. RXPREP Advantages: They give you everything about each and every drug. IN-DEPTH. ONLY source you probably need to be honest. CALCULATIONS was very helpful. If you are one of those who is well prepared through 4 years of pharmacy school, than this is the book you'd one to get. (I'll admit i was not!) Majority of the students uses this book and passes. Lectures are very informative! Lots of practice questions which you do on the computer. They try to emulate the actual naplex experience I guess........... I have spoke with Dr. Stephanie Garrett, and she was very helpful and wanted to do her best to help me pass the naplex. Dr. Brown Biostatistics lecture was worth it!! It helped me prepared for that portion of the exam. They underline throughout the book what you must know!!!!! Disadvantages: IN-DEPTH. Too much detail for me*. Lectures were not as interesting in my opinion* as Dr. Goldie and Ali for PNN. Personally, I prefer having question bank in a booklet. Takes about a month to go over the lectures. Lots of errors throughout the book, BUT they update it online! YOU MUST keep up with the update. I have been trying to pass the naplex since July 2015. I finally passed and it took me a year but definitely worth it. Personally I felt PASSNAPLEXNOW was by far the best course i have taken. I took Rxprep, but it just didnt work out for me. I was not able to retain the information from Rxprep. I felt overwhelmed with so much of information. Unlike Rxprep, PNN lectures were straight to the point of what you need to know for the exam. How I prepared for the exam? The first 2 times i failed i was using RXPREP book quizzes lectures, which is what MAJORITY of the students uses and passes on first try. And i must agree, it is the only source you need to pass. Unfortunately my score: Pre-Naplex: Did not take it. Actual: 68, 68 both times :'(. It was not to do with the book, but more that i just was not getting well prepared and not retaining information. I also was running out of time during the exam http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/passnaplexnow-vs-rxprep-my-opinion.1214352/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png Total time spent studying: 4-5 months. I thought of giving PNN a chance. I went through all of the lectures in 7 days! Than I studied for about a month before i went through the lectures once again. During my last 2 weeks before the board exam, I just did the question bank and looked over the following: Biostatistics, Compouding, HIV, Cancer, and ID. PreNaplex: 77 , Actual score: 90. I am more than happy with this score. I was depressed after i had failed the first 2 time...lost my pharmacist position i was offered... no money etc... Total time spent studying: 2 months. I have a created notecards on quizlet of all the drugs from RXPREP with brand generic which was very helpful. I would go through it on my phone when i go for a walk. I also have lots of notecards i have collected from other folks that have prepared it. Pre-NAPLEX: Pre-naplex’s were really helpful to gauge the pace of the exam. This is important for the actual naplex because you only have about 1 minutes per question. It helps you get familiarize with the format of the actual naplex. Calculation: I used SDN 120 (VERY HELPFUL), RXPREP, and PNN. It was more than enough for the actual naplex. I was unsure of maybe 4-5 math questions the most on the actual. Most of the questions were flow rates, CrCl, BMI etc. Majority of what others have said in this forum. Naplex: my majority of the exam consisted of Biostatistics (~10), Compounding (~10), ID, Cancer, and HIV. Its very imporant to know the brand name of the drugs as well. I am selling all my stuff. Please message me if you are interested. They are in fair condition (highlighted/stuff written). Please message for detail. Willing to negotiate the price if you are interested in any of my materials.
