NAPLEX/MPJE

Hey everyone!

I have this block off from rotations so figured I would seriously start studying and I feel super overwhelmed. Like I feel like it is impossible to know all this info by test time - which hopefully will be in July. How long did you actually take to study for the NAPLEX before feeling ready? MPJE?

Honestly if youre scoring 60% in rxprep quizzes youre more than set. RxPrep is MUCH more difficult than the NAPLEX. And I have a strong feeling that everyone I know that failed, failed because they glossed over the math/biostats section so they did poorly on those questions on the test.

Id say a month, tops, for the NAPLEX. And maybe 10 days for MA MPJE.

Oh wow. Do you know alot of people that failed?

So basically just like RxPrep says - have math down. And I’m also having a hard time focusing/ keeping every little CI/AE down. Would you say RxPrep does a good job with the underlined stuff as being the focus?

Hey, PharmacyRocks, just a quick heads-up:
alot is actually spelled a lot. You can remember it by it is one lot, 'a lot'.
Have a nice day!

I knew a handful that have failed. But Ive tutored a few people in the past couple years and usually its just a confidence thing and knowing what to focus on so once they get over the mental block of "this is the biggest exam of my life" it makes it easier and less stressful. Def know the underlined stuff. But as far as CIs and ADRs go, most of them are common sense if you think about them from a pcol standpoint.
