Hi to all on this forum. I’m an ex pre reg trainee that did my pre reg last year and sat the exam in September 2010. The thing is I failed the bloody exam and now its ages till June 2011 which is the next exam and I’m getting really down. Basically I haven’t been able to find work to pass time and I’ve just been sitting at home on the computer. I wish the exam was sooner. Is anyone else in this situation too, perhaps starting a group might help??? It sucks big time because I wish I passed that damn exam now and I could be practicing as a pharmacist right now. Life is really unfair and this situation is really testing my willpower to still be interested in pharmacy. My self esteem has really hit rock bottom, how can I pick myself up from this and remain strong. Thanks 

You need to get into a routine.
Between now and the exam day work out a plan to study BNF, Tariff etc and practice calculations each day.
Start with the BNF challenge in the recent PJ. I think the BNF has a challenge on line.
Then challenge yourself in at timed exercise each day.
That way you will keep your edge.
Go along to your local branch meetings and make yourself known.
Also good for a free buffet!

Follow that and you will be a ninja-cool-candidate on the day of the exam.
It will also be good stuff to know when you get on to the register!

Excellent advice. I failed Part one at Uni and referred for a year, and of course, my grant cut off. I stayed at home and studied every morning by doing pass exam questions. Passed with flying colours and got a 2:1 following year.

Find a dispensing job. Just search online and you bound to get one sooner, you got to sell yourself well. Even if its part time it will keep you upto date with chnages in community pharmacy and also help stop you becoming lazy/depressed.
