Hello I was wondering if studying the Top 300 drug cards is helpful for actual tests in pharmacy school? I am in my first year and I know therapeutics is not until next year but do you think they are worth buying now and getting a head start? Please share your thoughts or any tips for getting a head start on learning all the drugs. Thanks!
 
I think working in a pharmacy will help you learn the top drugs more than simply studying off flashcards.

Maybe its just me but I don't usually have time to memorize drugs while at work. Although, I make it a goal to look up one drug that I don't know of that I encountered during the course of the day.

Read some articles which I think are informative and interesting. I myself try to read the new Medical Letter that comes out every 2 weeks I think. It contains alot of relevant data although how much I'm actually going to use remains to be seen.
