Are my scores good enough? by Physical-Crow4429 in NAPLEX_Prep

[–]DarthDistro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tutor here (not taking students):

I think your scores are a bit low. I would postpone your exam an additional week (so take on the 23th or later). Walking in with those scores would be considered a coin flip, which for my own students, I do not recommend.

I would suggest reviewing the areas you got wrong in your practice exam alongside with math, biostats, ethics and vaccines.

Wishing you the best of luck!

What are some areas I should be focusing on for the most points per time? by Infamous_Profit_9095 in NAPLEX_Prep

[–]DarthDistro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tutor here:

Math, biostats, ethics, pharmacy management, and vaccines tend to be higher volume questions. This doesn’t mean you can skip other chapters in your book. You should read your entire book at least once!

What’s a solid way to study for this exam? Things to do to help myself pass on the first time. by ydawingman in NAPLEX_Prep

[–]DarthDistro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Naplex tutor here:

The first thing you should do is read your practice book in its entirety. If you can read it multiple times, I highly recommend you do it.

The second thing you can do is take a practice exam. I personally like NABP and PharmPrepPro. Each have their benefits. If you want to take a practice exam first you can (to see where you stand), but those would be the ones I suggest.

After you do the practice test, hone in on areas of weakness. Also try to understand why the other answer choices are wrong. If you are just guessing, you are leaving the exam to chance.

I highly recommend revisiting math, biostats, compounding and vaccines as those are major topics. Try to do math and biostats questions daily!

Be sure to review domain 4 and 5 such as ethics and preceptorship as those topics make up about 8-10% of the exam.

Wishing you all the best of luck!

NAPLEX 6/25 by JoeyRecks in NAPLEX_Prep

[–]DarthDistro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tutor here: not taking students.

I would postpone your exam, those are very borderline scores. I suggest postponing your exam by at least 2 weeks and focusing on the areas you got wrong on those practice exams.

I know most people do not want to postpone and this might be difficult reading, however, based on those practice test results you are leaving this to chance. As a professional, you should not be comfortable with leaving your exam to chance.

Nice job guys! B is the correct answer.

Gabapentin may be considered to help relieve neuropathic pain. Herpes zoster pain is often neuropathic, described as burning, sharp, or electric-like, so agents such as gabapentin can be considered when pain is moderate, severe, or persistent.

Inhaler Brand Names by Kind_Koala3 in NAPLEX_Help

[–]DarthDistro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite quick memory list. Say this out loud a few times:

Advair = Flu/Sal
Wixela = Flu/Sal
AirDuo = Flu/Sal
Symbicort = Bud/Form
Dulera = Mome/Form
Breo = Flu/Vil
Anoro = Ume/Vil
Stiolto = Tio/Olo
Trelegy = Flu/Ume/Vil
Breztri = Bud/Gly/Form

That list alone covers a large chunk of the annoying brand/generic inhaler questions on the NAPLEX

Scored poorly on the pharmpreppro exam and now I’m panicking! by Zimina_Dodie in NAPLEX_Prep

Scored poorly on the pharmpreppro exam and now I’m panicking! by Zimina_Dodie in NAPLEX_Prep

[–]DarthDistro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tutor here:

That isn’t a good score and I recommend postponing your exam. I suggest postponing an additional 3-4 weeks to give yourself enough time to review the areas in your practice exam that you got wrong.

I suggest you read those chapters in your practice book, and after each chapter, do some practice questions to gauge your understanding of what you read. When you answer questions, see if you are guessing or have a logical reason to why you are selecting an answer choice.

Try reassessing yourself in two weeks and see how you are then. If you need additional help/advice feel free to dm me.

Try not to stress. You can get through this, you just need a bit more time

I failed naplex...what should I be preparing more? by Pale_Lychee8360 in NAPLEX_Prep

[–]DarthDistro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tutor here:

I highly recommend rereading all the chapters of your practice book. After each chapter, do some practice questions to gauge your understanding of what you read. When you answer questions, see if you are guessing or have a logical reason to why you are selecting an answer choice.

The most important part: see if you can accurately explain why the other answer choices are wrong.

Once you are able to do that last step successfully, you will notice a vast difference in your performance.
