Hi! I just passed Naplex a few months ago and barely got my passing results for CPJE. I was so relieved, I cried. I would like to share my journey, which was quite a long and depressing one, but I passed both exams and didn't have to resort to taking the new version of the exams or CE courses! I would say the RX prep book is what most people have, but many people felt that after reading chapter 60, you forget everything from chapter 15. It's so hard to read and retain everything, which is why questions or charts or supplemental things are good for testing yourself. If you did great in school, then you shouldn't be too worried. I was a mediocre student, low 3.0 range. I feel the Naplex is so random and unfair, but has a lot of long patient charts that you have to filter through and be able to pull out relevant information to help you answer your question. They make it long with too much information to throw you off and make you have testing fatigue. Naplex has a higher margin for error, and it was very general and random, but you MUST KNOW MATH and equations!
I studied from the old competency statements and new as well for Naplex and CPJE. I bought the latest version of the book, but did not have a chance to go through it, but did work closely with the RX Prep team with the online course. With not enough time, I just did the online course with questions and videos and reviewed my old notes from my older version of the book (from the first round of testing). Since I did fail before, so had to go all out this time! It was really embarassing because EVERYONE passes right. There is a higher chance of failing CPJE since it is so clinical, and the reason most people fail Naplex would be due to not passing math (which is basic math, but you must do it fast and not make errors. Fail the math portion, fail the exam, they say. ) So, I used SDN 120 questions and proton pass flashcards for math. (THESE ARE AMAZING for those who need to review the basic math or if you just want to make sure you pass math on CPJE too. I hear the new version of CPJE has more calculations.) The new RX Prep 2016 book is a must and the bare minimum.
Other things I used for Naplex/CPJE: *for naplex: RX Prep course and book, Proton Pass math flashcards, Kaplan book that has 2 online practice tests, SDN120, took the pre-naplex too
*for RX Prep CPJE online course with videos and test banks, Ebay Pharmacy Charts, Kaplan supplemental book, Blue Weismann law book, practice questions... etc..
