Hey guys! I am very grateful for this forum, I wouldn't have passed my boards without you guys :-) Thank you! My Naplex Experience: I was B/C average student in school, if I can pass, you guys can too! I used the RXPREP book, which all you need and all I used. I read it twice over the course of 4 months, then 1 week before the NAPLEX I was studying intense with the book and bought the RXPREP quizes for $70 during that last week of studying. I also used the quizzes on Quizlet.com and the Prontopass online quizzes that range from $6-$15. The RXPREP quizzes are set up just like the real NAPLEX. That's all i used! NAPLEX EXAM ITSELF: I got a good sleep (I tried) I was so nervous! But when I walked into the exam room I was calm. The exam isn't the hardest thing in the world, but I prepared myself as if it was....but it wasn't. I still walked out of there unsure of how I performed though. I was numb and neutral. I got about 20 math, that were very easy (i only used the rxprep math to study + I am strong in math). The rest were case based questions, I had a few (3) easy one sentence questions. I had A LOT of cases. I ran out of time at the end and didn't answer 2 questions, including a math question that I wrote a random number in. Oh, and a little more than half of my math questions were fill in, so I had to make sure I calculated properly. I had no HIV, INFECTIOUS questions. All my questions were CARDIO, DIABETES, CHOLESTEROL. They have questions where they ask where does this drug work and they have a picture of the organ system and you have to click exactly where in the organ in works (ex. kidney). I took a break after 2 hours They give you dry erase pad of many pages to use Onscreen calculator, people say the can give you an actual one, if i knew i wouldve requested to save me time. the onscreen one is annoying to use. TIPS: Read questions carefully, but don't think too much Know how to read patient charts and look for unusual values and patient complaints Be strong in math, it carries more value in scoring, for obvious reasons in this profession I am so happy i passed! I just found out today and have been doing a chicken dance all over my house! LOL GOODLUCK. Ask me any questions!! :loveheart:
