Calculations
Alligation, kinetics, electrolyte math, and pediatric dosing with units on every line.
The NAPLEX is the pharmacy licensure exam administered by NABP. It tests whether you can obtain, interpret, and act on patient information — including calculations, product selection, and safety — not whether you can recite a monograph from memory.
NABP publishes competency statements that include obtaining and interpreting patient information, identifying drug-related problems, performing calculations, counseling, and compounding/sterile-product judgment at the level of a new pharmacist.
Disease-state pharmacotherapy still appears, but the useful grain is a decision: dose adjustment, a contraindication, a monitoring parameter, or a calculation with units. Confirm the current competency statements before you clone an old chapter-based deck. MPJE law cards and PANCE next-step cards belong in other queues. Keep a daily calculation block even when the rest of the day is therapeutics reviews.
Alligation, kinetics, electrolyte math, and pediatric dosing with units on every line.
High-alert drugs, renal/hepatic adjustment, and the parameter that stops a therapy.
First-line options and what you do when the first line is unsafe.
Sterile versus nonsterile concerns and beyond-use thinking at a high level.
For a graduate who has finished APPE rotations. If calculations are rusty, start them in week 1 and never drop them.
Weeks 1–3
Rebuild calculation families until units are automatic. Card the setup, not only the numeric answer.
Weeks 4–7
Walk major disease states as next-step and monitoring pairs. Mixed questions after each cluster.
Weeks 8–10
Longer mixed blocks. New cards only for repeating calculation or safety misses. Recheck NABP scheduling rules separately.
NAPLEX cards should end in a number with units or a safety action. “Discuss heart failure” is the wrong back. “What CrCl cutoff changes this dose?” is closer.
Spaced repetition keeps calculation setups and high-alert pairs available. It cannot replace timed math. Keep a daily calculation block even when reviews feel heavy, and retire monograph-style cards that never end in a dose or a hold.
Write the dimensional analysis before you flip.
Card the lab or symptom that stops the drug.
The single sentence the patient must leave with.
550 calculation and safety cards at 45 minutes a day for ten weeks. Timed math is extra.
Estimate: 30 seconds per new card, 10 seconds per review. Fixed review gaps, not FSRS or a recall prediction.

Disease knowledge appears, but competency statements emphasize decisions, calculations, and safety. Build the deck that way.
No. MPJE is jurisdiction law. Keep it in a separate deck with a later start if your state requires it.
NCLEX tests nursing clinical judgment. NAPLEX tests pharmacist decision-making and calculations.
No. Use official or licensed practice. GoodOff stores the cards you generate from your notes and misses.
