Pj,

No there isn’t any partial credit. Nearly all the answers are numeric and have to be in the box. If it isn’t the right number to the right number of significant digits in the box then you get no credit.

Should you fail the exam, you can submit some questions in writing for a re-grade in which you can argue your point for partial or full credit, but that is up to board to decide if they will accept. In my experience very few candidates were ever successful in getting extra points with this method.

Hey Dan, do you know if there’s partial credit given in part three?

Thanks I’m out of state and thinking about taking the New York boards. Needless to say I’m completely lost when it comes to the 3rd exam.

Yes you need to bring your own weights. Some testing places have spare weights in case people forget but you really cannot rely on that unless you know ahead of time they will be set aside for you.

If you work at a pharmacy or know someone who does you can ask to borrow the pharmacy weights.

Do they give you step by step instructions? I’m not sure what you mean by that comment. You have to decide which excipients or levigation vehicles to use from the options they make available to you.

And no they don’t give step by step instructions.

Good luck!

this might sound dumb, but do they give you a step by step on excipients, levigation vehicles, etc. etc.?
