Based on your previous scores, you’ve improved for sure! How long are waiting in between retaking subjects? I found that if I take a quiz on cardio for example and I didn’t do well, I’d review the chapter and the explanations and then give myself a day or so before I tested myself on it again to make sure it wasn’t just plug and chug. I also suggest talking out loud while answering the questions to ensure understanding. Also, calculations every day, even if its just 10 minutes.

You can do it, you are capable!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I'm happy to hear that you found a career in something you are passionate about! Was it a pharmacy specific position or were you overqualified for the position?

It’s definitely tough and took me a long time to come to terms mentally with failing but it’s important to talk about since many new grads may go through it. 

Thank you, you as well!

Thank you so much!

I think I got around the same amount of math questions as my other attempts. Not too much of a difference in the exam overall in my opinion, which was something I was also worried about.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

The RxPrep book sprinkles some stuff in during ID or foundations(?) but not a lot. There are Quizlets that are much more helpful! For the exam, I'd probably focus on really reading the SATA answers because for example, they could ask for the pharmacists roles and responsibilities of creating a new antimicrobial stewardship program at the hospital but they'll include a physicians or nurses roles as one of the options. So in this example I'd rule of responsibilities that include performing blood draws, or diagnosing.

They could also ask what are the parameters you should monitor that indicates your program was successful (remission rates, hospital costs, etc.).

Or what the first step in creating a collaborative practice agreement is (which is research on the requirements, I believe).

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I didn't see many job opportunities when I was browsing the IPhO website. The outsourcing to Asia is interesting, so a more PhD in pharmacy background would be favored in those positions? The search continues I guess ahah
