I think I failed. I was so afraid of not having enough time, I rushed through the first half of the exam. At the end, I have 50 minutes left when I was answering the last question.

An advice to future exam takers: starting from around question #120, the questions become much easier than the earlier ones, with lots of stand alone questions. You won't need as much time as the first half. In my opinion, if you answered 85 questions before the mandatory break, you should be fine.

The calculations I encountered are easy. I don't know if it's a good or bad sign.

Lots of questions about dosage forms and their corresponding brand names. Maybe I didn't answer them right so it kept giving me the same sort.

Anyway, I think the questions I was given were easy, but I screwed up. I heard those who passed all said their questions are hard. I guess I must have failed.

If you read half the posts, they say they think they failed. Don't hear too many ppl who did well on the calculations say they failed... but regardless, I wish you the best.. will you come back and give us an update on whether you passed? Thanks.

We felt the same thing after I took it. It was so frustrating to wait for the result. Then I passed. You will pass too man.

Can you share the test experience with us?
It seems like there are two parts of the test.
How many questions you have to do in each part?
How long they give it to you to finish all questions in each part?

I'll share my score here once I get it.

The complete exam is 4 hours 15 minutes. At 2 hours 10 minutes, you can take an up to 10 minute break. If you choose to do so, the clock will pause until you come back or the 10 minutes runs out, whichever is first. If you choose not to, you won't get extra time either.

What book did you use to prepare for the exam?

Well, we need to manage time VERY effectively. I believe, do slow upto 100. Increase speed upto 140 - look time and go ahead accordingly. Dont go too fast or too slow. Generally, if you get 60% correct, you would pass through. I took mine on 5th. Waiting for result.

What do you mean by 100 speed?
