Does this sound like you?

  • The drug list never endsHundreds of brand and generic names, and it's hard to tell which ones the exam will ask.
  • Brand and generic blur togetherLipitor or atorvastatin? Class, use, side effect. They start to mix.
  • The math trips you upConversions, days supply, dilutions. You know them at home, then freeze on the test.
  • Federal law feels dryDEA schedules, forms, refills and records. Rules you don't see every day.

If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.

Reading it twice doesn't make it stick

Lisinopril, losartan, metoprolol? In a prep book the drug names sit in one long list.
