How to ace pharmacy
Six study habits that make pharmacology stick, and how to use this app.
Updated October 25, 2026
Pharmacy school throws a lot of drugs at you at once. These habits make it stick.
1. Study a little every day
Short daily sessions beat one long cram. Learn mode brings each card back right before you're likely to forget it, so a few minutes a day adds up.
2. Test yourself instead of rereading
Rereading feels productive but doesn't build recall. Use Test mode to answer questions from memory, then review what you missed.
3. Learn drugs in pairs
Warfarin vs heparin, succinate vs tartrate: the comparison decks show drugs side by side, which is how exam questions try to trip you up.
4. Use mnemonics
A silly sentence you remember beats a fact you forget. Look for the mnemonic on each card.
5. Practice calculations until they're boring
Days supply and ABGs are points you can't afford to lose. Practice mode gives you a fresh problem every time, with the steps worked out.
6. Fix your weakest topics first
Your dashboard shows which topics you miss most. Start there.
