NAPLEX is a joke... Just take the exam... 99% chance you will pass if you read any review book once.

You have done excellently, you are ready for the exam. And you will forget what you learn exponentially within a week so you still have to to retrain yourself within 1 week before the exam to engrave the information again.

Also, remember you need to be aware of the percentage of calculation in NAPLEX.
If calculation still 30% and total question is still 185, you must be ready to quickly answer 55 questions in 4 hours (most of us got around 30 to 35 calculation questions.)
If percentage is different now (you can see in NAPLEX blue print), then, find the total questions and practice accordingly daily until exam day. (You can practice with real calculator at home because NAPLEX has policy to supply real hand held calculator in exam room. Please see other post in this forum about REAL HANDHELD CALCULATOR GIVEN BY EXAM SITE, or sometime, NOT GIVEN, which is a violation of NAPLEX policy.
Good luck.
