Board review

[TotalKayOs]

Does anyone else think having another sub-category about the NAPLEX (and all things relating to it, i.e. reviewing, hints, tips) would be a good idea.


Those of you who are taking your boards this year what are you using to study for it? What have you heard about it from last years students?

We have a guru come in and do a review

that's all we study

as far as a sub cat....

i really dont see the need but that's just me

That is something I have wanted us to have eventually - a "Boards and Licensing" subforum or forum. I figured there wouldn't be enough traffic at this time. If the feeling is that there is a need, we should be able to set it up.

I think the subcategory is a good idea. We could even have just one subcategory that is aimed at all things post graduation including residencies and board exams etc.

so has anyone heard anything about last year's naplex?

Someday those topics will be big enough that we won't want to clump them. It's better to separate them now then to have to try and sort them by hand later.

what do you want to know?

If you want a 99% guarantee to pass, check out the course offered at the University of Georgia. This is the same guru ultracet is talking about. Most students attending a school in the Southeast attend this course

what is the break down of the naplex? 50% OTC, 50% Rx? and are the questions case based or stand alone?

 

[pinkyrx]

I've heard that you really need to know Top 200 name/generics.

Thanks for starting that forum! I think it will be great to have, especially once the majority of us get closer to graduation.

I'll move this to the new subforum.

Here's what I remember (I look mine Nov 06). It was nowhere near 50/50. More like 95% RX/5% OTC. I had HIV and opp. infection questions. A lot of them. Others had more chemo questions. It seems like you will get one or the other. It is mostly case based. There are a lot of calculations, ie you have x amout of a r% solution and meed to make tml of a g% solution, how much of a p% solution do you add, etc. Also, def know all brand and generics, they change them up quite a bit.
