Just like everyone else, I wasn't sure if I passed or not but did with a good score.!!!

Thanks to everyone on this site who provided their advice and experience.

I studied using APha and RxPrep. I don't think studying either one alone was sufficient for me (but that's just me, others have done well with just one). I only paid $41 total for these books and subscribed to APha question bank online. APha was very detailed but went over everything. There were actually questions on my exam covered in APha that were not in RxPrep. PM me if you want to know which topics I'm talking about. RxPrep helped me remember things because APha was too detailed. I think the questions I got wrong on the test were mostly compounding. Neither of those books were helpful for that. I would recommend for anyone weak in compounding like me to read parts of the Pharmaceutical Compounding Book by Judith Thompson if you have it. I also did the 120 calculations on this site and skimmed through the 200 questions by Schroff? I had about 4 questions from that packet in my actual exam.

Spent 3 weeks diligently studying (and also worked 40hrs a week but cut down to 16 hours the week of my exam). Naplex score 130 (pre-naplex 126)

I didn't like the 200 questions from Schroff (whatever his name is).. The drugs he was asking about are like from the 1800's. It was too detailed. Too information specific. Too many K-type questions. It's okay to look at once you are completely done studying. I skimmed it relatively quickly, and as soon as I was finishing it up in 20 minutes I realized I'm never gonna look at this ish again. Wouldn't recommend it.

Compounding on NAPLEX wasn't too bad as long as you remember stuff like how to calculate how much diluent to use to prepare a capsule or whatever the hell LCD is, etc
