How should I study for the 2018 version? Is it going to be much different from 2017 version? What study materials are you using? Your advice is greatly appreciated!
My intern recently took the 2017 NAPLEX and he passed with flying colors. He basically used the same study materials and strategies as I did. He used the Pharmacy Charts and RxPrep. He went back and forth between them. I was told the 120 SDN calculations are harder than the actual NAPLEX calculations. Calculations are easy points so make sure you get them right.
Did you take the 2017 version?
I don't think the passing rates will increase until schools bribe them to make it easier.
I believe the new third part should be coming in 2018. I have not heard anything beyond the initial announcement about it.

I don't remember exactly but I remember it took about 30 days for them to process the paperwork that you send in. And then you can register online. Honestly maybe 2 months.Hello all,
Im actually planning on taking the NAPLEX this year, hopefully in a couple of months. Anyone know how long does it take to register for the NAPLEX? To be more specific, how long after I pay for it, do I get the ability to pick a date and time?
do 6 weeks naplex thoroughly by reading and test bank and then another 6 weeks at a faster pace, redo questions and look at weak spots. Then do 2 weeks after that for cpje.how much time should i reserve for studying for the NAPLEX and law exam? i have my last rotation off so i'm done 3/26. i was thinking i'll start studying at that time, so about 3 months of preparation. is that enough to pass?

yeah, study on the weekends and 1 hr every nightAre you also planning to work?
so 2 months is enough study time to pass both naplex and law exam? that month off from rotation i won't be working so i'll have a lot of time to go hardEnjoy your month off and start studying the month after.

These estimates are all based on personal experience. Time frames may vary depending on what state you are in and which testing centers are near by.Hello all,

i'm gonna do cumulative review, build upon what i learn. studying for an exam shouldn't be that hard. it's easy to pass a test when you have so much time to prepare for itI also take 3 months to study. The problem is by the end of the 3rd month, I have already forgotten what I learned during the first month.

Has anyone taken Arkansas law? How did you study?
UAMS students were lucky enough to take the law exam immediately after finishing a semester of law class. I wonder if material from that class is available digitally?Has anyone taken Arkansas law? How did you study?
I took the AZ law. Highly recommend quizlet: Arkansas Pharmacy Law Flashcards | Quizlet

Sorry, it's been years since I took that class.How long did you study
Can you please post the notes?
Give yourself at least 2 weeks between the exams when you schedule. I did my boards in Ga, so we had to do a Wet Lab + the Naplex and law exam. I scheduled the naplex the week after the wet lab and the law exam the week after that. The wet lab was a joke and I way over studied for the Naplex, but only having that week before the law exam was rough.
Is GA wet lab similar to NY compounding exam? What is the pass rate?

Here's the passage rate from 2005 to 2016 (first attempt):
2005: 91%
2006: 93%
2007: 96% (started pharmacy school in 2003: everybody and their mom wanted to go to pharmacy school)
2008: 97% (Great Recession hit)
2009: 96%
2010: 94%
2011: 95%
2012: 97% (pharmacy saturation hits/schools started to lower their standards)
higher

Class of 2017 passage rate is 81.96%, just 2% higher than the class of 2016 graduates. It was in the high 90s when I graduate.

Well, the exam is a lot different today. That is probably the reason why there is a drop in pass rate.
Different does not mean harder.

It also doesn't explain why MPJE scores dropped so much in 2016 and 2017 compared to 2015.
was the drop comparable to the drop in naplex pass rate?

NAPLEX was compromised, leading to a frozen test and complete rework. Previously, only a portion of the test included new questions. These questions were only for validation purposes. In 2016, a completely new test with all new questions was introduced. Most speculate that this was the reason for poor performance, as many schools were training for specific success with NAPLEX. I believe it is a symptom of poor education.. but that is my own conjecture. Not sure about other states, but Florida changed its MPJE in 2016 as well Link: Florida Board of Pharmacy » MPJE Test Changes in April- Licensing, Renewals & Information If this were to happen in other states, it would account for the drop in tests for MPJE.
As a data point - I studied 5 days for the Florida MPJE after attending pharmacy school in Oregon. I wouldn't do that again, but I definitely wouldn't spend more than two weeks.

Study as though its going to be your profession. Know drugs in and out like you knew the options on your favorite car. Know drugs and their use like a Marine knows how to reassemble his M16 blindfolded, with one hand under enemy fire. Be able to form an argument on when to use and when not to use drugs.
Do this and the and you will be asking for the NAPLEX to made harder.
noCan you be more specific?
