Hello all,
Just wanting to give back to the SDN community! I took my naplex on 01/17 and found out today that I passed with score of 86. I'm someone who's super in the zone when I take my exam so I'm sorry I can't give you an estimate of how much of the exam is what.
Topic wise, I think it's pretty much similar to the ones posted my those who passed in November and December - HIV, ID, diabetes, HTN, onc, asthma, COPD, Biostats, etc. Decent amount of calculation but none surprised me. If you can master the SDN 120 questions you are all set. Some compounding questions as well.
How I study:
- I went through the whole book and took notes for each chapter. However, I only review/study my notes after for major topics. I would study my note for one chapter, take the RxPrep quiz after to solidify the material in my memory and move on to the next. My second to last day I started to revisit the major major topics (HIV, ID, DM, HTN, asthma, COPD) and flipped through the top 200 drugs to know the brand names.
There were definitely questions I had zero idea about - like I don't even recognize the drug's name, have no idea what class it is and what it's for - so the list of topic is definitely not complete. However, since I knew the key topics very well, I was able to pass.
Good luck to everyone taking it in the near future!
