The review course focuses on the topics and skills candidates should be familiar with before sitting for the NAPLEX® and MPJE®.
Sample pharmacy calculations problem
How many milliliters of water need to be mixed with 80% v/v alcohol to make 400 mL of 50% v/v alcohol?
- Less than 40
- Between 40 and 80
- Between 80 and 120
- Between 120 and 160
- Greater than 160
Calculating the answer
400 mL × 50% = V × 80%, so V = 250 mL of 80% alcohol. The remaining volume required to reach 400 mL is 150 mL of water.
Sample clinical question
Clinical questions may be framed around brief scenarios and ask candidates to identify the most appropriate treatment based on the information provided.
Reviewing calculations, therapeutics, disease management, pharmacology and law concepts helps candidates identify the knowledge areas they need to reinforce.
Good luck with your preparation.
