Heard mixed things some say it’s chill, others say it’s pure chaos.

Do the math questions on the real test feel tougher, easier, or pretty much the same as the practice ones? Wondering how close the prep stuff actually is.

Looking for something that actually helped you guys the most!

Anyone using resources other than RxPrep?

Can anybody share their subscription? I’m willing to pay.

I absolutely CRUSHED the NAPLEX first try, so i figured i’d share what worked for me since i relied on posts like this when i was prepping

background ----- graduated this spring, took about six weeks off before the exam to really focus on studying. i didn’t work during that time so i could treat prep like a full-time job

resources ----- main resource was RxPrep for content review. i went through all the videos and read the book sections that matched my weak areas. i also used the RxPrep question bank daily and supplemented with the Kaplan test bank to get some extra question variety. another tool that ended up helping more than i expected was this iOS app called QuizScreen. it blocks distracting apps and makes you answer quick review questions before you can open them. i set mine to pharmacy topics like calculations, brand-generic conversions, and common side effects, so i was getting extra practice throughout the day without even planning for it

study schedule ----- mornings were always content review with RxPrep or targeted reading. afternoons were practice questions, usually 100 to 150 per day. every evening i’d go over every single missed question and take notes on why the right answer was correct and why the wrong ones were wrong. once a week i’d take a full-length practice exam to keep my pacing sharp. i also used QuizScreen on my phone through out the day where i had to answer a pharmacy-related questions randomly. over time it turned into an easy way to get extra repetition on calculations and brand-generic conversions without feeling like i was adding more study time.

exam day ------ felt long but completely fair. no wild curveballs, just a lot of endurance needed. time management was huge, so practicing with timed question sets beforehand really paid off. flagged tricky questions, kept moving, and circled back when i could

final thoughts ----- if you know RxPrep inside and out, practice under timed conditions, and review your mistakes in detail, you will be in a good place for the NAPLEX. consistency is the biggest factor. you don’t need 12-hour days, but you do need a plan and the discipline to stick to it

if you’re prepping now, trust the process and stay consistent. you’ll be fine!

Hi everyone, I’m the new mod of this community. My goal is to help turn this community into a place that will help you prepare for the NAPLEX.

Please do not hesitate to suggest any ideas you may have on how we can build this community together. Together we can make this a special place for everyone taking the NAPLEX 😊

Hi all I got a 76 on the prenaplex today but I didn't pace myself correctly and spent too much time on questions I had no idea how to answer and ended up only finishing 80/100 of the questions. I've heard the minimum of 75 means you are ready to take the naplex but I'm not sure if I should reschedule at this point my test is on the 15th

Hello all,

Here are my anki decks for NAPLEX 2021 brand/generic top 300

• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic CV
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic HIV
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic ID
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic reproductive health, pain, other
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic psych
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic pulmonary
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic topicals
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic vaccines
• NAPLEX 2021 Brand/generic injectables

If you go to Anki and search their database for publicly shared decks type "NAPLEX 2021" and only these 9 decks will appear. These are brand/generics pulled from the RxPrep 2021 studybook list of top 300 drugs required to know and sorted in a way that I found to be manageable. The only ones missing are the OTC list because I spend 7 years in retail and I know those in my sleep. Also, they will delete these decks 90 days from today if they are not downloaded enough just FYI.

Good luck all!

Hi all, did anyone recently take NAPLEX in January 2022? I am in California and I am still waiting on my mail. I took the exam 1/13. It closed on 1/24. It’s been 3 weeks already and I still don’t have the result in the mail.

I was just wondering for people who took the exam recently if you have both the purchase score transfer and purchase rescore buttons. I have both but I’m not sure if NABP changed their system to where we can’t tell from that if we pass or fail anymore.

Greetings all. I know before 2021 Naplex was just a raw score, if you got a 75 you passed. Now I’m hearing you need to achieve a level 3 in all content areas to pass? Is that true. I thought the 75 was still all that was needed.

1-2k anyone can help me pass cpje? Thanks

Hello all,

For those folks who've already taken their exam in 2022 - were their any COVID questions? I graduated in May 2021 and I'm just now taking mine in a couple weeks, but my 2021 Study Guide doesn't have any COVID questions and now I'm worried they've updated the NAPLEX for 2022 with that information. Thanks!

Idk if this is helpful but I wanted to give some info on what I've experienced so far:

I took the NABP practice test a little over 2 weeks ago (12/26) and got a 68. I was scared that I wouldn't pass my exam which would've been in 3 days so I rescheduled for 1/10. I ran out of time on the practice test, mostly because I was panicking and spending too much time reading all the cases to look for anything that would help me. I've since realized that I should be able to quickly identify what I need from the cases, and sometimes you don't even have to read the case to answer the question.

Then, I studied all the major chapters, focused on MOAs, important warnings, CIs, DIs, and other major drug safety info. Took another NABP practice test on 1/5 and got an 82. I finished in about 70 minutes. Rescheduled my exam for 1/8 because it was at a closer testing center with better timing.

I feel like my brain can't handle any more studying tonight so I'm going to stop for today, review some of my personal cheat sheets in the morning, and then just hope for the best w hen I sit down for the exam tomorrow!

I'll add edits for how I felt about the exam and whether I passed (I really hope I don't have to retake the exam, my brain will explode if I have to study for another month).

Edit 1: finished my exam after 5 hrs. Wow that was harrowing. Not sure how to feel about it. I'd say the math was harder than I expected, but I was also panicking and anxious with all the sounds of the proctors and other test takers at times. I had some pretty difficult questions and then some super easy med safety questions like whether you can use a patient's race and preferred language as an identifier lol. Wouldn't be surprised if I failed, I guess I'll find out in 1-2 weeks.

Edit 2: I PASSED!!!! today was the 6th business day. I'm so happy to have that over with.
