RxPrep Course Book - A Comprehensive Course for the NAPLEX® & CPJE
The RxPrep text is the preferred study guide for US and foreign graduates preparing for the pharmacy licensure exams. Matches to the content of the NAPLEX® blueprint and is complete for all topics tested-you need nothing else. The focus of the RxPrep text is on the "basic competency" material required to pass-and to practice safe pharmacy as a new practitioner. The Course Book and Test Bank Assessment are included in the complete RxPrep Online Pharmacy Review Course.
Updates to the 2015 text include Immunizations (new pneumococcal and influenza updates), ACS (new NSTE-ACS guidelines), Biostatistics (addition of sensitivity and specificity), Antiarrhythmics (new atrial fibrillation guidelines), Anticoagulation (CHA2DS2-VASc formulas), IV Drug Storage, Stability and Administration (new chapter), DME (new chapter), Renal and Liver chapters (both updated guidelines/major revisions), Pediatrics (new chapter), Pain (a couple of important new drugs), Common Skin Conditions (several additions), Toxicology and Antidotes (new chapter), Calculations (practice calculations that increase complexity to help improve your speed and accuracy), Pharmacokinetics (addition of advanced PK math), and Lab Values and Patient Charts (new chapter).
Patient cases at the end of many of the therapeutic topics match to the style you'll find when testing.

Informative and structured, covering the essentials needed for NAPLEX/CPJE prep. Some sections felt outdated, and the layout could be more user-friendly, but it’s still a solid study tool if supplemented with updated resources.

It was a pretty good review for the exam. However, there should be a little more detail in the calculations chapter and I pulled out my notes while reading the oncology section.

YAYYY!!! This SEEMS really helpful esp. with the lectures, but I'll reserve my final judgment until I take the exam. Overall good info and set up, each chapter was fairly easy to go through.
