Hi how many months you studied for NAPLEX? I am graduating this May, and I am trying to figure out how many months I should study for NAPLEX to pass in my first try. I am very week in calculations.

Measuring study time in months is overkill. As long as you were a decent student, a couple of weeks is more than enough. I ended up borrowing a used copy of the RxPrep book and flipped through it over a weekend. Remember that it's a minimum competency exam.

If you're weak in calculations, there's a big set of practice calculation problems floating around on here somewhere that's pretty useful. Use the search function and you should probably be able to find it.

Off and on for two weeks, RxPrep exclusively.

1-2 hours a day for a week and I was ready.

Four hours a day (weekends off) for a month should suffice

In months? 0.25 is good.

How important HIV/Oncology/AIDS topics are for NAPLEX 2014? What are the chances of passing NAPLEX without studying those chapters?

Not very important, just glance over it. It may or may not be on the exam. It wasn't on mine. I'd focus on calculations and the more common conditions e.g., hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc. Although if you're planning to take the CA law exam, HIV is on that.

Not important at all. I didn't even study those subjects, got like 3 questions on it. Majority of my exam was brand-generic and calculations and internal medicine case studies.

So, these chapters are not very much important. Are lab values given in NAPLEX exams? or we have to memorization.

I took it was soon as it'd let me. Mid June I think

My test was like 76% calculations. It was my strong point, made it super easy

For the most part - if you fail the school you went to failed you in your education - study calculations - other than that - I spent two weeks studying a few hours a day and got a 131
