Re: High Stakes Test

I fully plan on reviewing all the learning modules thoroughly, I just want honest feedback if I memorize the answers to the practice questions, will I pass the test?
 








Yah thats what I did. I finished the tests quickly and knew the answer to the question before I finished reading it.

But then I was confused during the training bc Id self taught myself a complex disease so whe they taught the info I was lost. As a former teacher, I think the training system is ass backwards. I dont make the rules though, I just check the boxes.

You'll do fine. No one gets fired.
 




There is so much information to study along with so many LMS courses to take. I'm trying to figure out what is important. Are the test questions straightforward or are they designed to trick you. Do we need to know doses for every product on the market or just MOA. Should we concentrate on the information which are highlighted/italicized in modules and the review questions. Any information on what is important would be greatly appreciated.
 




Plan on 80 to 100 hours of home study. Forget about most of the computer bs. You can do most of it at training a few evenings after the test. Read all modules. Know all concepts presented. Know cascade of events that happen during different stages of the disease state. Above all else KNOW ALL PIs. There were people at training that did not read all modules but knew ALL areas of PI and did fine on the test. Again, know ALL areas of the PIs.

This is spot on. 100 percent correct. Better have a good idea of Drug-drug interactions. Mixing drugs. Clinical studies found in the PI. Storage instructions. Adverse reactions. Special populations. Precautions. Indications. Patient populations studied. These are just some of the many nuances of the test.
 








75 - 100 questions. All mult choice. About 1 min per question so plenty of time. Many different versions of tests. You will have most questions on your lead and secondary product.
 








"Hi, my name is Bozo, would you like to ride the jayhawk express?"

That is my idea of high stakes testing. I use this line on all the hot ladies at Novo, it's high stakes because once they say "no" they might tell somebody. A few have said "yes", not to brag or anything.

How did you get out of college? Does someone have to tell you how to study? Read the modules, learn the information, take a test. That's how it works.
 




To the idiots that want to cut corners by "memorizing the practice questions." You are an embarrassment to the industry and the exact reason why pharma reps are not respected. You accepted a job where you plan to sell a product in a complex disease state and want to be able to do it in parrot fashion?! I hope you all fail the HST miserably!

The company pays you a base salary for 2 weeks while you sit at home. The only thing they ask you to do is LEARN. So why don't you take the time that you are being PAID to actually figure some shit out instead of wasting time on trying to cut corners?

You assholes really drive me crazy sometimes. You'll be the death of this industry.
