Delight yourself also in the LORD and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37: 4 (NKJV). Just so you know, recently I was in the same position as many of you on this forum who were reading various posts from different individuals and thinking about retaking the naplex and the new format. For all those who are worrying about the new naplex, I would advice you to stop worrying and pray to GOD for wisdom, knowledge, understanding and favor and He will answer you. Stop wasting time worrying about it just do the 3 P's-PREPARE, be POSITIVE and PRAY. If you waste 15-30 mins daily worrying about the new format, that is 105-210 mins you waste the entire week. This time could have been used to review your flashcards and the qts you missed on quiz bank, do a few calculations or biostatistics.
The new format is just like everyone on here has already stated, the questions are all case format even some of the calculation questions are based on an order similar to the orders in the hospital settings to calc drip rate, anticoagulant dose etc. YOU MUST look at the pts ALLERY PROFILE and LABS before you choose your answers, and please TAKE YOUR two 10 mins break in order to give your brain a break.
The first time I took the naplex was in Aug 2016 the old format and I missed it by 4 points. The only resource I used that time was just scanning through rxprep, watching a few vids and doing some of the quizzes in the test bank. (Don't make that mistake, I did)
I was really busy after that because I migrated to a new city and took a while to settle down in a new complex, new city, new county etc. and then I had a family situation and had to break the lease 6 months early in December, and move again to another city. (challenges, obstacles) Started a new job in January and made reservation to take the exam in March, but did serious studying officially in late February and passed with flying colors. I am officially licensed and to GOD be the glory, praise and honor because recently I was just reading and congratulating others when I read their posts and saw their success on this forum. So now I want to be a blessing to someone else, because GOD has bless others and they in turn blesses us with their experiences and recommendations, so do not give up, study smartly, have faith and trust GOD.
On 2nd attempt I used rxprep did ALL the quizzes once and made flashcards for qts I missed, I used accessedpharmacy Lange pharmacotherapy flashcards to be more acquainted with case type qts, and I also used a review that was posted on here by Tmir and david05, I also searched quizlet and used these profiles blue7777 | Quizlet and https://quizlet.com/class/389807.
First of all, thanks be to the most high GOD who creates the heavens and the earth and gives wisdom and favor. Then thanks to all the SDN family who GOD uses by allowing them to post their experiences and encouragements, the names too numerous to mention, but you all know yourselves. For those who have to retake any sections just study, pray, have faith and trust GOD and He will bless you in due time.
