Preparing for a board exam is indeed a test of faith and character. It is something that you have to take really seriously. You are your own worst enemey here. It's all about perseverance and setting your priorities right. Choose discipline and let God control what you cannot.
a tip from our prof:
to all board exam takers ng PhLE,
MASTER PHARMACOLOGY TALAGA, dahil pharmacology is the heart of pharmacy! Hindi lang sa Mod 4 lumalabas si Pcol, kahit Mod 3 parang pcol na, umiikot rin sa iba pang module. Memorize the classifications and
Board exam is everybody's game. It is no longer based whether you were academically achiever during college or not, nor what school you graduated from. Pantay pantay tayo lahat dito na mag te-take. Wala kang ibang kalaban kundi sarili mo.

Dear future pharmacist,
Know that you have done enough. You did all you could to prepare for this test. Let go of the things na hindi mo na kontrolado. Rest your mind now, and know that He is in control. Congratulations in advance, RPh!

Note to self: Today is not the time to give up. You are now a few steps closer to the dream that you've been working hard for. Keep moving forward. Ignore the opinions of others. Endure. God is with you.
‼RECALL‼
💊Pharmaceutically Equivalent
✅ same in ALL aspects
✅ may differ in shape, excipient, scoring
💊P. Alternative
✅ same Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
💊Therapeutically Equivant
✅ same efficacy and safety
✅ PE, BE
💊T. Alternative
✅ same DRUG CLASS
my takeaways after taking consecutive practice exams in preparation for my upcoming board exam:
1) keep going back to the basic concepts or information
2) repetitive learning is really a must
3) understand rather than pure memorization
4) don't be too hard on yourself!
do not just watch lecture videos for the sake na matapos mo lang ang topics under a certain subject, you have to watch it na iniintindi mo talaga bawat segundo ng video. take notes, then synthesize. repeat. 🔁

Drug-Receptor Theories:
💬 CLARK
: Kung LAHAT ng receptors are occupied makaka-produce tayo ng maximum effect ng gamot
💬 PATON aka Rate Theory
: basta may PROPER STIMULUS lang, may effect na!
💬 ARIENS & STEPHENSON
: AS LONG AS the receptors ay occupied, may effect pa yan!

God sees you.
He saw your hardships from the moment you took this path. 4 years of studying pharmacy was not an easy course at all, yet here you are, konting konti nalang magiging registered pharmacist kana. Pray over worry. Faith triumphs over fear. 🙏🏻

For Pharmaceutical calculation, I highly recommend not only memorizing these formulas but also having time to do practice questions.
PS. Actually, these are my compiled formulas from my RC and Univ! So if magulo and may mali, pasensya po 😅.
Crude drug Adulteration 🧐
🔎Sophistication- intentional
🔎Admixture- unintentional
🔎Substitution- entire replacement
🔎Deterioration- impairment of quality during prep.
🔎Spoilage- deterioration cause by microbes
🔎Inferiority- active constituent is below the min. standard

1. answer and rationalize practice questions as many as you can!
2. don't force yourself na matatapos mo pa lahat ng backlogs mo before BE
3. make sure alam mo na basic concepts sa mga high yield topics per module
4. kalma lang dahil kaya mo yan!!
