Could be better

[Malak · Rating 3 out of 5]

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 Some sections felt outdated, and the layout could be more user-friendly, but it’s still a solid study tool if supplemented with updated resources.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.

This book was an excellent review for the NAPLEX. Highly recommended for pharmacy students.

Cheers and Happy Reading!

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.
