High stakes test

So I'm studying all the modules but some of the information on there seems to just be for our understanding and don't seem important question. We have about 8 modules and 75 questions, it seems unreasonable that they would ask mundane little details. My question is...if I know EVERY aspect of the PIs would I still pass? I am going to read everything and make sure I know ALL the ?s at the end of the modules and above all THE PIs. Would I be in good shape to pass? And are some of the questions on the tests the same as the high stakes? Thanks!
 








Memorize all 8 modules? Hahaha can't nobody tell me that memorized all 8 because it is extrelu too much information. I memorized the reviews at the end of each module and all PIs and did well...don't listen to that troll.
 












Why do you think NN is paying the big $$$, nice car, they need people who are smart and can memorize all the info. If that wasn't the case NN could have hired people without a degree. This job is not hard, the part that is hard is getting into the industry and passing all the test we get.

This post is true. So, why is that? Shouldn't the hard part actually be the job? Wouldn't that ensure NNI has the best field force instead of the best test takers? It's all bass ackwards.

Do you really not know the answer? How can a job be "hard" when you only get 20-30 minutes of face-to-face time with your targets per week?

This industry inherently does not allow a rep to work hard, no matter how much you would like to bust ass. It is simply not possible. You will soon come to the realization of what a pharma rep actually does once you get out into the field.
 




My question is how specific is the test in regards to numbers/statistics? This seems to be the hardest part - trying to memorize all of them. So, anyone with knowledge and REAL advice this would be greatly appreciated! Also, were the tests at the end of modules good study info and possibly on the test or no? Thanks in advance!!
 




























Understand disease state, ADA, AACE recommendations, the drugs, patient type to use drugs,
dont understate small things, indications, usage, dosing, studies on PI, contra indications, population exceptions, side effects. Hope this helps
 












For those DCS reps that passed the test - what study method did you find most useful? Some have said flash cards and other said just reading over and over. I feel the disease state stuff comes easily with just re-reading, but what helped you all the best. Same with the DCA people - what is helping you? Flash cards for the number intensive stuff, etc? Thanks!
 




Everyone learns differently. What is your studying style. I would use a combination of both. One thing that helped me was writing things out over and over. Also I made cheat sheets that I pretty much memorized. For example all the AACE and ADA stats I had a chart where I could visualize it and the info
