Took it this morning, and I KNOW I didn't do well. I was able to finish all questions in the allotted time; however, I put in random numbers for half of the math (had about 15) and didn't get a single HIV question and only 4 oncology questions.
Most of my questions were the basic disease states that we as pharmacists should be experts about - DM, HTN, COPD, etc. I kept flubbing those up because I couldn't remember basic things like brand/generic and exactly WHERE certain drugs worked (ie. where does this drug work in this picture). Many of the questions were ridiculously basic, and I missed those...when I got home, I looked up about 15 questions I could recall and got them all wrong.
Pretty bummed. This is my first time taking it and I studied pretty hardcore (8+hrs/d) for about 2 month. There's been a trend of nonpassing scores when they keep asking you about the same disease states and not asking questions on a more difficult topic like Onc or HIV.
... It will truly be a miracle if I even make it in the 70s at all.
EDIT: Guys, I put the BARELY in barely passed. Check below.
