Every board exam contenders or examinees are much
vexed or anxious about the questions that might appear in the
questionnaire. In pharmacy, there are six subjects or modules to
take. To be able to pass the board exam, a contender should at least
have each subject a 75 percentage weight grade, so that an average
percentage weight of 75% will be final result. The board exam
percentage is sometimes adjusted with relevant of how many examinees
were passed. When the national passing percentage result reached just
below 50%, allegedly, the PRC and Board of Pharmacy have the power to
adjust the result to reach the 50% passing, and giving the chance to
those contenders who are in between to pass.
But what are the hardest modules in the pharmacy
board exam?
Because pharmacy industry is a very dynamic and
versatile profession, the subjects are composed of questions
pertinent to different areas within the profession. Either
administrative, industrial, health care or clinical, we are fit to
work. Thus, subjects are related to those said areas.
The six subjects are PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY,
PHAMACOGNOSY, PRACTICE OF
PHARMACY, PHARMACOLOGY
AND PHARMACOKINETICS, PHARMACEUTICS and QUALITY
ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL.
These
subjects are all tackled and included in the syllabuses and semesters
of a pharmacy student, so that students have the basic knowledge and
skills on each specific subject. According to takers and passers, the
hardest subjects on the six modules are the module 3 and 4. Because
in Practice of Pharmacy, and Pharmacology and Pharmacokinetics, the
questions are not anticipated and basic knowledge must possess to
answer the questions. It is not just a simple multiple choice, but
choosing the best answer should be done to pick the right answer.
Also, a mixture of all the subjects can produce in the module 3. A
combination of calculations, chemistry, application of pharmacy can
feasibly expected to come out. In module 4, questions maybe
situational and application of use of drugs.
They
only way to prepare for the board exam and to fully achieve the so
called RPh, I advice students to take note and give importance to the
basic learnings and basic knowledge to their studies. Stock knowledge
is very essential and useful when the time of your breaking through
to become a registered pharmacist taken place. Good Luck!
