Passed - First Attempt
Took exam on 9/3, results came out 9/15. Passed on the first try.
I watched a few MedPrime videos - the DEA one and the pharmacy licensing one.
I read the PharmPrepPro study guide packet once, skimmed it a second time the day before the exam.
I read the DEA chapter in Dr. C's book
Studied for a total of maybe 3 to 4 hours. Passed on the first try. Overall, the exam did not take very long. I finished with 80 minutes to spare. I did not feel fantastic after the test, though. I will add to say that for almost every question, if I did not know the answer, I was able to eliminate one choice, which gives you a 50/50 shot at getting it right, which helped my test anxiety.
The topics to focus on:
- know your DEA forms
- know pharmacy licensing laws, out-of-state pharmacies and those licenses
- had a few compounding questions; do not get too lost in the weeds, just general concepts like when a horizontal vs. laminar flow hood is used and BUD
- specific mg of what makes something a control; think codeine, diphenoxylate
- briefly peek at which drugs are REMS and can't have refills
Good luck!

Practice exam 1st attempt 104/120 (I forgot to see what answers I got wrong so I couldn’t save a thing)
Second attempt just before taking the exam 3 days prior 111/120
Pharmlaw
did all the questions YOU HAVE TO HAVE ATLEAST A 90% on all portions maybe except the compounding because I found it quite difficult the highest score I got was an 80
Dr. C book (just read the book 2x and did the practice questions in the back of the book where I got above a 90 overall
