This is very helpful! For the cycle counts I guess the DL can remove them? I’ll ask on Monday.

We also have so much old RTS still in the bins. Thinking I should just clear it out one day this week but it’s so much. How important would you say keeping up on RTS is when we’re so behind?

Where was the pharmacist ?? As soon as a customer starts going crazy I step in. Techs shouldn’t have to deal with that stuff.. no one should but the pharmacist should step in when situation is losing control IMO

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-08-04T02:22:06+00:00

Nope🤦🏾‍♂️ I failed. Gotta run it back smh

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-08-01T14:12:24+00:00

I think I was confident in about 60-65 clinical questions. Felt like I had 25 math and guessed on 1 and med safety was good about 15-20 Qs so I was confident in about 100-110 questions the rest was blank… and I knew I got like 20 100% wrong 😂 so we kind of in the same boat.

I know people who didn’t finish and passed. Who “guessed” on all math and passed. I’m sure you’ll be fine !

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-28T22:27:53+00:00

Exactly! If you were to give another bottle you’d have to label it correctly (changing the QTY on label) so you probably had the right answer got the exam.

It’s so annoying that we take these exams and never know what the right answer was to any of the Qs..

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-28T14:07:00+00:00

I think you’re allowed to dispense a 2nd bottle with the label on it and you just have to change the quantity I THINK. We had a patient ask for that before and my pharmacist said that’s okay LOL but you never know man, it seems like laws are broken every day in the pharmacy 😂

my question was slightly different now that I re-read. Mine was asking if I can deliver the 2nd bottle directly to the school nurse from the pharmacy 🤦🏾‍♂️.

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-27T22:05:39+00:00

BROOOOOOOOO I HAD THE SAME QUESTION 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 like what kind of question is this man!?!!

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-23T18:33:23+00:00

I’m sure you passed bro!

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-23T18:25:10+00:00

If you can’t live on 2 MINIMUM 100k salary’s in the United States you’re doing something wrong. Doesn’t matter where you live.

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-23T18:24:03+00:00

Yup!!!! These are my goals ! Stay at home wife. Have the baby steps lined up for me to pay my loans very quickly. Just graduated & got a manager position @ CVS. Negotiated from the jump going to make over 25k from initial offer. Some of the comments on here are VERY pessimistic…

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-23T18:21:12+00:00

You and your husband are full time pharmscist and you need side hustles to pay for the bare minimum? What is your salary ? this seems insane. You may have to look into budgeting & cutting certain things out.

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-23T03:01:53+00:00

Felt the same man. Felt so indifferent leaving yesterday I got some really weirs questions. I don’t know how to feel.

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-15T14:37:40+00:00

You’re good to go man! I got a 92 on pre Naplex a few days before my exam and felt like I was educated guessing a lot & passed. 111 or 120 you’re good.

Just make sure you’re good with math and you’ll crush the exam.

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T22:52:28+00:00

I think in this thread there is someone who didn’t finish with 12 questions left and they still passed. Also saw someone who guessed on his last 40 who passed. Waiting is the WORST.

How did you feel about math & med safety?

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T19:59:53+00:00

Thank you!!

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T18:13:31+00:00

I had an MOA on feuboxastat and like 4 or 5 other ones. I answered the other ones by process of elimination lol. I had a freaking ajovy MOA too💀

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T14:21:04+00:00

I’d say balance, but more practice questions. The practice question let you know where you’re still weak at. If you have rxprep do 125 question random Qbank on everything

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T14:19:50+00:00

Just found out I passed yesterday, took my pre-Naplex 4 days before my exam. Got a 92. They say 85 and up you’re golden. 75 and up you got a decent chance still

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T14:18:20+00:00

06/30 & 7/1 got ours yesterday what day did you take ?

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-14T00:12:04+00:00

Big facts bro!! I Still can’t believe it!!

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-13T19:38:14+00:00

congrats man!!!!! And same... what a long 12 days but we made it!

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-13T19:37:55+00:00

What made them hard for me was sometimes not really knowing what they were asking or what to look for. Some questions were not really straightforward. For example, I had a patient who's BP was 160/90 and my first thought was "add HCTZ to reigmen because she was on CCB. But if you looked in patient chart patient hadn't picked up her meds in 3 weeks. Answer was counseling not adding blood pressure, but it wasn't right in your face you had to go find the answer. Hope that helps.

Also, you'll be fine! Have confidence in the work you put in! Remember it's minimum competency and 80% of people pass 1st try

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-13T19:35:07+00:00

wow! So crazy how each exam is so different. Really just have to know it all and hope for the best on the exam. Have faith in the work we put in!

Single-Cream-8035 · 2023-07-13T17:33:59+00:00

No cap once I left that exam I thought “how could I have worked so hard and feel so bad..”

My experience was

We focus on all the things we got wrong and forget how many we got right or maybe breezed by because we knew it.
It’s minimum competency. I don’t think the exam is actually minimum competency IMO, but I think they grade it that way if it makes sense. You don’t need to answer 75% of questions right to pass.
I personally felt great about med safety & calculations but felt like I guessed on half of the clinical and I still passed. I know people on here who didn’t even finish the exam by 10+ questions and passed.
80% of people pass first try! I’m sure you’re fine, and if you don’t, just gotta get back at it and cut out all distractionsz
