I just took it today. Very difficult and not like what I've heard or read on here. I didn't really have HIV, Hem/Onc, or calc questions.

I had a lot of drug interaction questions, a lot of patient repeat back for assessment of understanding, and 3-5 drug specific questions on old drugs.

I feel ok but not confident.

Best of luck to everyone! And hopefully we don't have to wait 30-45 days s/p exam for results

Was this your first time taking the exam?
I'll be retaking my at the end of this month. I did have calculations and some brand/gen hiv the first time i took it. What do you mean drug interaction questions (was it straightforward what should patient not take if already on a certain drug due to DDI)?

thanks

It is my first time for this exam. I've heard it was very difficult and it lived up to its reputation. But knowing this, I've been studying even while on residency for the past 2-3 months.

I had one HIV question but it was more formulation justification regarding TDF vs TAF (tenofivir).

Some DDIs were simple, e.g linezolid an SSRI; however some were more difficult, e.g. "Select which you contact the prescriber to Change in a regimen for protonix (regimen: zofran, Reglan, Pepcid).

I did have some renal type questions but they were you must know which drugs need Renaly dosed.

I did have some old drug questions on things that were all over the place, i.e. From interferon to trospium.

I got the similar version as yours today... and I've taken CPJE before last year, this was totally different. No math, whatsoever, which was a letdown, so many law questions.. a lot of them were difficult, I still can't find the answers to the questions in the Weissman! or the California Pharmacy Law Book! Did they change the format somehow this year? I just hope they are not counted. The top 350 generic brand didn't really help lol

I agree there were meds that I've never seen before. I walked out feeling I missed 15+ questions. Did anyone else feel the same?

Havent heard back either. From past months they usually send around 2nd week so probably around next week or week after that. Have you tried calling them?

Hi. What was your test date?
Click to expand...

I took my at the end of May. They usually combine all the month's test scores and send it by the second week of the next month so I'm hoping they'll do the same. The max waiting period is 45 days tho, unless there's a QA.

They said that they haven't sent results for examinees that took the test after Apr 29. The wait is terrible. I took mine May 15 and already feel like I've been waiting forever.

I did for some straight forward questions. For some law, I'm not so sure since it's super confused. I felt like I failed after I walked out the exam. Some questions are tricky

Thanks for the update! Weird that some poster on another thread got the result but none of us did. Someone told me there's no cpje exams open in July. I wonder if that means they are combining both May and June scores together then we'd have to wait till like July to hear our scores? omg

Read this from another thread:


Not sure if this is true but I have theory that if you go to the psi website and it says that your score was sent to the board you failed but if it says (PRExx/xx/xx) with the x's being a few days after your exam date you passed

Any thoughts??

Took exam 5/17 still waiting...going crazy -__-

other than that they have no updates.

I took my exam on April 24th and i still don't have my results. The end of this week will be 60 days.

I also don't believe too much on that PSI theory but mine says PRE 05/01/2017. I took it 04/24/17.

if i was you i'd give them a call because based on what the lady told me... you should have received your letter.

I emailed them last week and they said my results haven't been released yet. I also call them every other day to check if any results have been sent out.

Thanks for the advice tho. Forgot to mention that above.

Anyways, I now think the "PRE XX/XX/XXXX" is the date the BOP receives your scores, or something like what batch you are apart of. That would make sense when they say they released up to April 28th. Maybe I wasn't apart of the release because I was part of 5/1/2017 even tho i took my exam 4/24/17? I don't know but that is the only explanation i can think of.
