Do you recommend buying the test bank for RxPrep? I have bought the RxPrep, and I was just going to study that and the calculations on here. Do you think the test bank will help? I know there are only 10 questions per therapeutic topic in the book compared to 2700 questions for the test bank. I don't know if it will be worth the 150.00 as I already bought the book for 160.00.

The questions online: Good way of training us to take COMPUTERIZED EXAM.
With Computerized exam, I got the training of:
Benefit 1: Reading and try to eliminate answers without pen (In pharmacy school, for multiple choice, I took test on paper and always HAD to cross out the wrong keyword of the wrong answer. Knowing the NAPLEX and CPJE are both computerized, I worried that I would not take test properly with confidence because I will NOT have a way to cross out the wrong word or wrong answer.)
Benefit 2: Practice math. (NEW IMPORTANT NOTE for CLASS OF 2014: YOU HAVE LEGAL RIGHT TO GET HANDHELD REAL CALCULATOR FOR NAPLEX. I wrote very detailed post in this forum about NAPLEX LEGALLY SUPPLIES HANDHELD CALCULATOR (post was at this link, WITH EVIDENCE FROM NAPLEX:

Benefit 3: Seeing TIME going down (If you have never seen the test timer going down, you will very likely get nervous and rush through the questions.)
The trick about TIME COUNTER is:
you want to know the time available for you
AND
you do not want to constantly look at that time because you will waste time and freak out.
Human psychology is very weird.
By doing RXPREP online, you get to see the TIME COUNTER and you develop your own mindset so you will not constantly look at COUNTER all the time.
Benefit 4: Before my exam, I practiced taking RXPREP computerized test for 4 hours a day for 7 days. The benefit of RXPREP computerized test is: your score is calculated automatically by computer and you save time because you will instantly know how good you are at this point for this subject.
My wish:
I hope by now for class of 2014, RXPREP gives more questions in form of Patient Case like NAPLEX and PRE-NAPLEX. (The first time I took PRE-NAPLEX in 2011, I freaked out because the questions in the form of Patient Case were given in conservative quantity by RXPREP book and online questions.)
Overall: RXPREP combo: Book, Computerized Online Questions, Video: 99% good. I studied with this combo and they helped me pass on first try.
The book, excellent. Why? The book has just enough information so you learn and feel confident (APha book was way too detailed, I did try and had to stop APha book).
Math: I learned from RXPREP and practiced all math questions from packet of SDN 120 Math Questions (I practiced 60 math questions a day because I was told math would be about 30 percent of 185 questions, meaning about 50 questions. My NAPLEX had about 35 questions or so.)
so I passed my Naplex on my first try recently. I asked for a calculator but to no avail. However, the system's calculator is amazing. Beyond amazing. It's basically this: (Rxprep posted this once)
