Hey I'm from PA and just took it today, it was weird as heck. Same as all other advice, definitely know brands/generics...not just of drugs for top disease states like diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, infectious disease (including antibiotics/antifungals and all HIV because I got a weird drug that's not even commonly used in HIV) but less commonly studied disease states (like ophthalmics for glaucoma as an example). The most basic ADRs/side effects of commonly used drugs should be second nature, so focus on odd and lesser known side effects because that's what you will be asked. If a drug has a therapeutic drug monitoring level...know it. Why it was weird though was because some non-clinical questions were bizarre in my opinion. For law I used Weissman which I thought was super helpful and for clinical I just read through my Rxprep I had as a student. I did very minimal preparation though because I'm still in residency which takes up a lot of my time too we'll see...
