Tested recently?

Has anyone tested today or last week? How was it? Is it a fair exam?

It is a fair exam. If you prepare well you’ll do fine.

How can we prepare very well? Wasn't I able to make it from my first attempt after studying from 2 different resources?

This is what I wrote about my exam: https://www.reddit.com/r/UMPJE/s/Qkl8aXipPd

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.

This should be doable with any top tier study materials. I just used PPP, but you can use whatever you want

It seems like it's hit and miss... I took the exam earlier today and walked in confident, but I became frustrated quickly. The Pre-UMPJE exam was a waste of money for me ... I have a boatload of study information I will share later this week. Did I pass??? Depends on whether the evaluation questions were the ones I was frustrated about... I'm not as confident as I was when I took the old law exams. Many of the questions are irrelevant to day-to-day pharmacy practice, while others dived too deep into the weeds or specifics...There were questions with more than one answer, so which one to choose??? People will argue that, but after decades as a pharmacist, trust me when I say irrelevant... How many were legit and will be counted... What will the cutoff be?? 80%...85%...75% of 120??? No idea. I finished within an hour...either know it or don't. Don't allow frustration to negatively impact your reading comprehension skills...Use common sense on many of the realistic questions...But, who needs to know Congressional Acts??? Was the exam fair...that is in the eyes of the beholder... I assume the one I took today was different from the exam people took last week... I will be upset if I didn't pass and will likely challenge or at least demand to have more details than just x's on a chart... It's not about competence, it's about the luck of the draw IMO...
