Exam advice desperately needed

[meaniebeanie]

To be honest ive only briefly read the reference sources and practised calculations on and off throughout the year, at the moment i dont feel ready even though im doing it in september. Do you reckon 3 weeks hardcore revision would be okay. Can people (who passed first time round) please give accounts of the revision procedures they followed after finishing pre-reg in pharmacy and studying at home for exam, how much repetition did you have to do, how many past papers did you do, what calculations did you focus on mainly etc. Much appreciated.

3 weeks sounds ample to me, but depends how quickly you grasp the questions

read through bnf, mep, drug tariff..know where to look....past papers, past papers, past papers really is the key!!!

just do them under timed conditions, try and do as many as you can get hold of

Hey, I would suggests read 1 chapters of the BNF a day do light reading of the MEP every 2 days + flag your drug tariff and then practice the sample RPSGB questions.. Then maybe be 1hr a day practice questions on www. pharmacycpa . com to reinforce your learning ... Its working for me at the moment, although i still got lots to learn.
