SUCCESSFULLY TAKING THE COMPUTER-ADAPTIVE TEST
Take a positive attitude.
Budget your examination time wisely.
There are almost no “trick” questions on the exam.
Drug products introduced in the past 6 months will not be on the exam. Drugs that have been available for 6-12 months may be on the exam, but only as experimental questions
Calculations will be assigned the most weight.
Answer a previous question incorrectly, forget about it and just continue.
Remember…. minimum competency.
