The PNN Pharmacy Board Review offers various formats for its course:
1) Online Course: This option provides 6-month access to 80 hours of video lectures, a coursebook/chartbook set, and access to an online question bank for the same duration. The course fee is $895.
2) Live 7-day Virtual Class: Participants engage in seven days of live virtual classes via Zoom. This option includes a coursebook/chartbook set and online question bank access for 6 months (excluding videos). The course fee is $1495. Please note that due to time constraints, not all topics from the coursebook/online course are covered in the 7-day live course. Additionally, access to the library of pre-recorded online course video lessons is not included. Therefore, the BUNDLE course is recommended for most students (see below). Students registering for the Bundle course can postpone the date of the 7-day live virtual class by emailing us.
3) Bundle Course: This comprehensive option combines the attendance of a 7-day live virtual course with 6-month online access to the video-lectures library and online question bank, along with the coursebook/chartbook set. The course fee is $1789. The Bundle course is the most popular choice. While not obligatory, it is recommended that students begin preparing with the online course material before attending the 7-day live class. The better prepared you are, the more beneficial the seven-day live class will be. Students registering for the Bundle course can postpone the date of the 7-day live virtual class by emailing us.
The course materials include physical printed books.
- Course Book (700 pages) following the lectures slide by slide
- Chart Book (120 pages): a tool for memorizing details
- Question Bank: Online Qbank (2500+) with abundant patient profile questions and explanations
- Two Practice Exams (100 questions each)
- Progress Tracking
- Email support from our teachers for pharmacy-related questions.
The course components are not sold individually; they are offered as part of the mentioned packages.
CA LAW Online Course: California students preparing for the CPJE exam can add a separate CA LAW online course ($225) to their cart along with any of the options above. This additional course includes 6.5 hours of lectures, a 100-page course manual book, and about 200 pharmacy law questions.
Timeframe for Preparation:
For new U.S. graduates with an average knowledge base who are first-time takers, it typically takes about 10-12 weeks of FULL-TIME preparation to be adequately prepared.
Preparation will take longer for other students, such as those with a weaker clinical knowledge base, history of failed attempt(s), non-recent graduates, foreign graduates with no US hospital rotation experience, working students, or any combination thereof. The duration depends on the individual student's circumstances and background.
For PY3 or PY4 pharmacy students, beginning rotations with a strong clinical background offers two significant advantages:
1. The course places a strong emphasis on clinical pharmacy, exposing students to scenarios they will encounter during hospital rotations. Consequently, students perform well in any clinical setting, including rotations and board examinations.
2. Familiarity with hospital pharmacy before starting rotations can help students stand out. This familiarity greatly aids in obtaining effective letters of recommendation and securing residency positions.
