Now before all the haters post their comments about how a pharmacist should be able to do math and its so simple on the naplex. Math is my weakness and when I need to do math in practice I always triple check formulas and conversions-something you can't do on the test. I also have other people run through my math too to make sure its okay. I am also not in a setting where you would need to do complicated math.
Anyway I wanted to give hope to those that are weak at math, I went through Rx prep chapter and the quiz bank once, and did 1/4 of the sdn calculation because I was running out of time. I was so sad over the math I cried for days because I know I missed so many. Today I found out I passed with 123 (pre naplex 93). I have to admit though that I am pretty good at clinical and that might of saved my ass. Good luck and don't trip out if you get destroyed by the math.
