I'm going through the calculations in RXprep, and I keep seeing really trivial things that I'm assuming we have to memorize. Such as # of dissociation particles, dissociated ions equating to the dissociation factor, valence numbers for multiple compounds... Do we really have to memorize this stuff, or do they give it to us?

These are basic chemistry 101 knowledge. You don't need to memorize them, just use your what you already know should be sufficient.
 
Thanks for the response. I've attempted the 120 math questions and I'm having an extremely difficult time answering them. The questions from RXprep and the 3000 question app, I've been getting the great majority correct. Do you think I should be okay still? I truly tried those questions and it's just frustrating and I feel like I'm wasting time with less than two weeks left.
 
I got frustrated doing the 120 SDN questions too, I did all of them once just for practice, but the rest of the time I focused on the RXprep questions and made sure I mastered it. On Naplex, I had quite a few mEq questions that were similar to the ones in Rxprep, so you should know how much mEq's is in NS, 3% saline etc.
