I failed the Naplex twice!

Did you know you can become an expert in something because you failed?

You, probably NOT, but me on the other hand TOTALLY.

It started in undergrad when I failed general Chem. After taking it twice, I became a Chem tutor. 🤨 Who knew 8 years later that I would do the same thing. I became a Naplex Success Strategist because I failed the Naplex and had a delayed career start.

And for the most part, I was getting by with my studying.

I wasn’t clear on what I needed to help me prepare for the exam. I struggled for a LOONNGGG time trying to determine what I needed. And for a long time, no one was offering the help I needed (breaking down the information, mindset, and test taking strategies), especially coaching and being on the journey with me.

I didn’t need another prep book, a quiz bank, or a review session.

I needed an organized approach to learning and preparing for the Naplex.
I needed strategies on how to stay focused and take the Naplex more effectively.
I needed to learn how to master the information on my exam

I yearned for someone who would help me get through this chapter in my life. But no one was there so I had to analyze my study habits, productivity, and study strategies. Within 6 weeks, I went from a 74 on the Naplex to a 90.

My colleagues heard about my big accomplishment and sought my head preparing for the Naplex. Since 2017, I’ve been helping pharmacists prepare for the Naplex. I’ve been known to shorten goal timelines, increase Naplex performance by 20 points, and boost confidence and calm nerves.
