Generally speaking, the passing rate of licensed pharmacists in 20 18 years is only 14. 10%, the lowest in 7 years! Moreover, combined with the data of the past ten years, the average pass rate of licensed pharmacists examination is about 18.48%, not more than 20%! This pass rate is relatively low in the national qualification examination!
Whether the exam is good or not, it is better to analyze the details of these exams:
1, test subject difficulty
(1) Chinese medicine/pharmacy professional knowledge 1: Chinese medicine/pharmacy professional knowledge 1 is the most difficult subject in the licensed pharmacist examination (specially evaluated by previous candidates). If you are a zero-based candidate, you must spend more time on the professional knowledge of Chinese medicine/pharmacy I, because it is really difficult to understand.
(2) Professional knowledge of Chinese medicine/pharmacy II: Basic subject. It is generally believed that only by learning well can we better learn the comprehensive knowledge and skills of traditional Chinese medicine/pharmacy. The main content is pharmacology. There are many drugs in the whole book. You should remember the mechanism, characteristics, indications, adverse reactions, contraindications, drug interactions, etc. There are so many. To learn it well, we must have methods and comparative memory.
(3) Comprehensive Knowledge and Skills of Chinese Medicine/Pharmacy: This is an application-oriented subject. For candidates who have little contact with clinic, it is more than a little difficult, so they should be prepared psychologically.
(4) Pharmaceutical Affairs Management and Regulations: This is a discipline that keeps pace with the times. Many people feel good, but it hurts in the end. Don't underestimate your enemy, prepare for the exam carefully.
2, the length of the exam, the amount of questions.
There are four types of questions in licensed pharmacist examination: A-type questions (best multiple-choice questions), B-type questions (compatibility multiple-choice questions), C-type questions (comprehensive analysis multiple-choice questions) and X-type questions (multiple-choice questions). Each examination subject is tested separately, and the number of questions in each subject is 120, which is scored separately. 1 for each question, full mark 120. There are 4 options for the subject of Pharmaceutical Affairs Management and Regulations, and 5 options for other subjects.
3. Validity period of results
The licensed pharmacist examination takes 4 years as a cycle, and those who take all the subject examinations must pass all the subject examinations within 4 consecutive examination years before they can obtain the licensed pharmacist qualification certificate. Those who are part of the exemption subjects must pass the examination of the subjects to be tested within 2 examination years.
The validity period of the results has been changed, and the difficulty of the exam will definitely increase. Therefore, it is recommended that candidates try to get the certificate before the reform, after all, the licensed pharmacist exam will become more and more strict in the future.
In fact, whether licensed pharmacists can do well in the exam varies from person to person, and is also related to the degree of preparation for each exam. I believe that as long as you are willing to spend time, review carefully and master the learning methods, you will certainly pass the exam!
