Out of stater, passed on my first attempt...I did not know how high the failure rate was going into the CMPD exam. If I had to take it again, I would actually brush up on some commonly CMPD meds made from a kit; say, lansoprazole, "magic mouthwash" (if that even counts), topical combos (salicylate based...mixing order does matter...all about I purifying solids to change the melting points into liquids at room temperature), & some simple IV prep stuff (flashback to rotations hopefully).
Some advice: practice writing out procedures in great detail how you would go about compounding CMPD X...be sure to write insanely small & make sure everything legally required is labeled on the CMPD...they actually deduct for bad handwriting (why physicians can't pass...I kid). Free-response is hit-or miss...I could not advise one how to study.
The commonly confused names is a joke...and should be common sense. If unsure of the indication (I.e. Some godawful, old brand name medication, think about the name and what a marketing person would think...usually is a good clue & go with the broadest indication...say antiviral instead of HIV med). Feel free to PM me, I'm sure I'm missing out some other tips.
I had no clue how to study for this exam...just don't try to memorize Trissels!
