How many questions do they really ask about compounding and pharmaceutics on the NAPLEX? I am taking it soon and don't really want to waste time studying that when I have other things to go over.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't taken it but from what I understand, these are pretty much "gimmie" questions and are something in which you should be well versed.

Good luck! When are you taking the exam?
 
I had 5 or 6 questions. I hate pharmaceutics with a passion, so I didn't study much of it for the Naplex and I still passed. One of questions was how to compound a certain cancer drug 😕
 
I had quite a few compounding questions. One that especially got me was regarding coal tar. 😕 I would study it if I were you and not blow it off.
