MOCK COMPETENCY EXAM

Mock Competency Exam

Date, Time and Location: TBA (January 2020)

SCCP's Mock Competency Exam is targeted to 5th year students who are preparing to take their competency exam. SJU requires all 5th years to take a competency exam to demonstrate that students are ready with the knowledge and skills to advance onto their APPE rotations in their 6th year.

Our 6th year PharmD students designed a case study that followed the same structure as our school administered competency exam and provided tips to reassure our students' confidence before taking the exam the following week. Students were given the opportunity for a one-on-one counseling session to explain their findings in the case study.

It was a successful event, which had over 100 student participants. After feedback, students familiarity and preparedness for the real exam doubled!
