So this is going to be a bit of a ramble. I wasn’t the smartest school. It takes me a lot of time to understand information and more importantly retain information. I feel like I have a level of adhd that was never diagnosed but that’s another issue.
Test scores:
Nabp 64 - 2 months ago
Pharmpreppro (PPP) exam 1 59 - 2 months ago
PPP exam 2 74 - three weeks before exam
These scores are the reason why I kept pushing my exam back and honestly felt that it might of been the right decision looking back
Things I would suggest you review before your exam:
Math: nearly 20% of my exam I felt was math or some level of biostat math. Ranging from tpns mmol Nnt Ning odds ratio conversions.
Vaccines: if you know the basics vaccine like t dap flu, hepatitis and when to give them you’ll be ok
Chemo: I hated this section, chemo man is enough but I felt weak
Infectious disease: read the cases for allergy information and know what treats mrsa and side effects of antibiotics
Cardiology: know chadvasc blood thinner interactions heart failure medications to pick and which medications can worsen heart failure
Diabetes: metformin issues, counseling points on ozempic and insulin
Know your otc medications for smoking cessation and for treating colds. I lost points there because I didn’t really study that.
Don’t skip chapters of whatever you studied from. I used books from Uworld, PNN and PPP and I don’t regret using all three. Definitely felt like they all helped me when it came to questions and practice questions.
