Eh. I have yet to study, other than a school review week and looking at 4 pages of the OTC chapter in the APhA book. I don't plan on starting to study until next week, because I'm in the middle of a cross-country move.
Ultimately I plan to only spend 2-3 weeks studying for NAPLEX and then a week for law.
By the way, I like the phrase under your screen name. 👍

well... are you a WoW junky?
But the real origin of Zug Zug came from Ringo Star.. the Caveman. 47 second mark.
Yes, we all like Zug Zug.
I used to play WoW, Warcraft, Starcraft etc. Good times.
ugh. tell me about it. About to make a cross-country move as well. Except that I'm hoping to take the tests here and just get them DONE. I've studied about 2 hours thus far. Just waiting for my ATT.
I'm flying out to find a place to live tomorrow, and I'm supposed to plan some sort of Vegas shindig when I get back, as well as decide on a time for my own going away party.
I should really work in there too. I haven't worked since before graduation
Oh yeah, and I'm supposed to turn in a manuscript today for final editing before we send it off to be published. Is it ready? No. What am I doing today? Getting estimates from moving companies.

Have you been living under a rock for the last 2.5 years?
Agree. It is a joke for you.
Haha! From freshman year all the way to therapeutics. Wasted my summers when I should have been a good intern 😳
Yeah, I'm just going through this studying and its intense. I totally understand the fact that I need to know this/that etc etc. But wow, all the formulations, brand/generics, normal dosing/dosing for renal dysfunction/hepatic dysfunction/elderly, key counseling points....
No...it's seriously a joke. I spent about 5 hours studying for it and I killed it. You are all overestimating its toughness. I'd spend more time on the law. That **** is tricky.
Plenty of people told me "you'll be fine," "you know more than you think you do" and "only foreign students fail" before I took my boards. Looking back, I appreciate those ego boosts and agree that it was a lot easier to pass than I expected; however, I don't regret any of the work I put in. If nothing else, studying for NAPLEX is a good way to review what you've learned so far and to brush up before starting a residency.
Over the course of about a month, I studied the APhA book, the ASHP case book and reviewed old therapeutics notes as needed. Study the way you would study for any other exam. If you study hard and like knowing that you did your best, do that again. If you usually blow off studying but pass with flying colors anyway, keep it up. Just remember that it's not a bad thing to think of this as the culmination of 6+ years of hard work - because that's exactly what it is.
Congratulations on graduating, and good luck!
