Hello Everyone,
I just joined and this is my first post. I just did the NAPLEX today and I feel like I failed even though I studied two months straight (except on weekends) 5-12 hours most days. I read through RXPrep (some chapters 3-4 times), watched the High Yield Med Review lectures, and attended a two day review course. Unfortunately I was only able to get through half of the RXPrep online practice questions but I did all the RXprep calculations online and in the book. Even though I would review stuff and understand it while reading it I just feel like I was unable to retain everything for this test.

During the test I feel like it all got mixed up in my head and had to just guess with the majority of the questions. I do not think I did all the calculations right either. It does not help that I have never been good with standardized tests. I fear I will have to re-take this test. Anyone have any advice or thoughts about their experience with the 2017 NAPLEX?

I felt confused after I took the exam because I wasn't sure on the majority of my questions, I think a lot of people feel this way with any standardized exam. I didn't do so great on any of my previous standardized exams either. Coincidentally I sat in the same chair that I tested for my PCAT and I didn't do the greatest on it, but I passed the NAPLEX---and that is because I studied and was prepared. Don't underestimate your brain! I'm sure you passed.

Thanks for the encouragement. That is what I keep telling myself.
