I took the PA MPJE last week. I honestly thought that I
failed miserably,
but I got my score yesterday
and scored 95!!!
I studied from
MPJE Made Easy by Jerry Musheno and from the
MPJE Simplified book. I read each of these twice and took the exam. I think either one of these would have been sufficient alone since together they were quite pricey ($75 and $85 respectively) and since Pennsylvania laws are easily accessible online. Each of these study materials offered helpful tips that they thought would show up on the test.
I would recommend using one of these resources and reading online the following: Chapter 27 of the Pennsylvania Code (
http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/049/chapter27/chap27toc.html), the Pennsylvania pharmacy act, the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device, and Cosmetic Act. I did not study much for federal law since it was only 3% of the test and I think that was pretty accurate since I don't remember a plethora of federal law questions (like FDCA and its amendments, FDAMA, HIPAA, etc). Controlled substances were a big focus in the study guides and I would recommend knowing those laws well.
The main thing is just to remain calm and choose the most reasonable answer. As I was taking the exam and feeling like I knew NOTHING, I was obviously doing pretty well...
Good Luck Everyone and let me know if you have any questions about the specific study materials I used.
