I sincerely hope she does pass and that this whole episode merely serves to strengthen her resolve and make her a better pharmacist for it. It's best for her to be positive and concentrate on passing the registration exam.

I would only disagree on one point in your posting, and that is to do with the pharmacy degree. My belief is that it relates very well to the job and lays a good foundation for it (regardless of university attended). What it fails to do however is incorporate any meaningful practice of it within the course (i.e. community placements, etc) to allow us to experience the job we are to do. Another decisive factor is our application - or lack of - of the knowledge we gain at university. This is largely due to the exam culture that we have inherited as part of the education system. Many students end up trying to learn for an exam as opposed to applying the knowledge they have gained.

Once again, I wish her all the best, and will look out for your post as to how she has fared.
