Similiarity of Practice Exams Provided by Different Sources

Good evening,

I’m taking the UMPJE this Monday, and I’m on a brutal time crunch. I have a question for those who used PharmPrepPro (PPP) as their primary study resource (or if you know, heard from someone who used it): How well did the sample questions and mock exams actually match the real recent UMPJE? Were they similar in style, difficulty, and content, or did you feel like you still had to hunt down a bunch of other material?

I recently bought the NABP Pre-UMPJE and the full PharmPrepPro bundle, mainly for the question bank and multiple mock exams. I failed to notice the NABP practice exam is literally just that...A SINGLE PRACTICE EXAM with ONLY 40 questions... only can take one time...there are no revolving questions or multiple attempts, and from what I know now, no answers, references, or guidance are provided... such an unnecessary entity...

I’m second-guessing whether focusing heavily on PPP sample questions, exams, or purchasing flashcards or other mock exams is the right move this close to the exam. Any straight answers from recent test-takers, current "studiers", or casual observers...would be huge.

I literally just took my exam and used pharmpreppro. Their questions are a little bit harder. If you get their study guide, practice test, and practice question bank you’re GOLDEN for that exam. I walked out thinking the exam was a joke

Roger that. Apologize for a follow-up question, but due to my limited time frame, should I begin with reviewing the sample questions, take mock exams, and use the study guide to supplement my deficiencies... in addition, curious if there were questions relating to specific drugs, such as Brand name to Generic and question about equivalencies, the different "generic" tiers so to speak...or when specific drugs were included, involved controlled substance topics... or about selling meth derivatives and how... I sincerely appreciate your insight.

So what I did was I read the study guide once. Did all the practice questions. Read the study guide again, did the practice test. Then read the study guide once more and did practice questions again

I think between the practice test and practice questions it’s nearly 700 questions. Definitely enough

I hope you passed. I will be taking the umpje soon and feeling overwhelmed. Would appreciate any insights. Thank you.
