MA MPJE - law packet/other materials?

Hi all - just looking for some advice on preparing for the MA MPJE

It seems that some people recommend reviewing 247 CMR for state law:
http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/source/mass/cmr/247cmr.html

And maybe Abood for federal law..is this 7th ed. appropriate? Published in 2012 but seems to be most recent edition:
http://www.amazon.com/Pharmacy-Prac...1407179999&sr=1-1&keywords=pharmacy+law+abood
I've also noticed that this book is 476 pages - is it necessary to read through the whole thing?


I've also heard that some people get a pharmacy law packet from the state house bookstore - is this something that is necessary? Or does it just contain info available online? I am out of state so I can't go into the statehouse to pick it up, and I can't find any info online about the packet or whether it can be mailed to me..

Just curious if 247 CMR and Abood would be enough (along with quizlet), or what else I might need in order to prepare myself for the exam. Keep in mind that while I went to school in MA, I am not familiar with the laws because I did not work very much throughout school.

Thanks!

Bump - any input?

FYI I found and ordered the mass law packet here (2nd one):
http://www.sec.state.ma.us/spr/sprcat/agencies/247.htm

I assume that will be fine for state law, but any advice on federal law? I assume I don't have to read through all of Abood, but is it still the best resource or what? Thanks

I took the MA MPJE 7 days after taking the law, didn't even study all seven days and got an 84.

What does this mean? Did you mean to say 7 days after naplex?

I used the MA law site and my class notes, that was it.
