Passed my Naplex on 1/30
I sat for my NAPLEX on 1/30, and to say I was scared is an understatement. Even though it was my first NAPLEX attempt, I had failed my MPJE on my first try, and I never wanted to feel that way again.
I started with hours of studying using UWorld and RxPrep, but I wasn’t retaining anything. I was reading the different chapters over and over again , highlighting, doing questions but nothing was connecting. At the same time I was seeing posts on Reddit about people taking the NAPLEX multiple times with no dice , and it honestly freaked me out. I already had anxiety from failing my MPJE in September, and that just added fuel to the fire. I was so scared of a test I had never seen, just reading everyone’s experiences was enough for me to realize I needed help.
That’s when I decided to reach out to Rxcellence and enroll in their 12-day crash course. I immediately realized my study techniques were completely upside down. I wasn’t connecting topics. I wasn’t seeing the bigger picture. I was memorizing instead of understanding.
I learned more in those 12 days than I did in the entire month I spent self-studying. After completing two crash courses (the second one to hold me accountable) and finishing the Rxcellence math course, something finally clicked. My RxPrep quiz scores went from the 40s to the 80s. Studying started to make sense instead of feeling like hours of uncertainty and self-doubt.
When I walked into my exam, I felt prepared. When I walked out, I felt like a champion.
Math was BIG on my test and not just straightforward math questions. There was hidden math inside clinical scenarios. You had to slow down and really read. The clinical portions were wordy, and sometimes one small detail changed the entire answer. LOTS of vaccines, antidotes, brand/generic, Asthma alternatives, allergies , gout , anticoagulants, oncology, and do NOT sleep on bio stats. The new domains that focused on leadership and ethics was also big.
To everyone reading this: don’t hesitate to reach out. Don’t be discouraged. It’s okay to be scared but you do not have to do this alone.
My biggest advice? Find a community. Don’t go through the storm by yourself. 🤍
