RAC US Preparation

  • 1.  RAC US Preparation

    Posted 28-Aug-2017 15:26
    ​Hi Everyone,

    I am going to take the RAC US Exam this fall and would like to find a study group. I am strong on the medical device side, with 10 years of experience, but have not had significant drug experience (just private labeling) and have no biologics experience. I would love to study with a few others, especially those with more of the drug/biologic experience. Ideally, I could answer your device questions and you could answer my drug and/or biologics questions.

    Thanks,

    Sarah

    Hi everyone,

    I'm also taking the exam this fall and would be interested in joining the study group. I've been in the medical device industry for about 5 years, so I could also use some help on the pharmaceuticals/biologics side of things.

    Thanks!

    ​​Hi All,

    I would love to join the study group as well.  I tried getting involved in another study group, but the original messages were for prepping for a previous exam and some others decided to take the test at a later time.  Let's make this happen!  I have many years in small and large molecule pharmaceuticals and I'm now working at a medical device company.  When should we first meet?  I suggest weekly (say Wednesday night at 8PM EST - even tomorrow night if possible).  Otherwise, please be sure you have registered, since the deadline for RAC Exam registration is just a few days from now (September 1st).  I included the link to registration when I tried to post earlier, but I'm believe it prevented my post; it's all on the RAC site.

    Have a good day!

    Hi All,

    I hope you're doing well.  It appears we all won't be meeting tonight, because we don't have a shared way of doing so yet for everyone.  For this reason, everybody please be sure to share an account email address for Skype (or a better solution?  I prefer FaceTime because Skype can have connectivity issues.  However, that means everyone has to have an iOS device)?  Additionally, could we get shared group email or distribution list, so we can jump off of the RAPS discussion page (Will someone volunteer to create one)?  For next week, let's meet at 8 PM EDT, ready to discuss Section I, Strategic Planning - Chapters 1, 2, 3, 11 & 12.  Yes, that's a lot, but we have a lot of ground to cover.  I look forward to it.

    Have a good evening!

    ​​Hello everyone

    Anyone who is interested is welcome to join the group.

    We can exchange e-mail IDs or can stay connected via Whatsapp, where we can post our questions and reply. We can also have a discussion once a week. I am not sure about meeting as we stay at different locations (those who can meet can surely do so).

    And of course, we can decide on the content to be covered every week and then probably we can just discuss the same, may be on Saturdays or Sundays. Every Sunday before winding up the discussion, we can plan the content to be covered next week. I think we can all crack the exam through with a healthy discussion and good planning.

    We can definitely start with Section 1: Strategic Planning. Also I would like to know the content you all are referring to for preparation. I have RAPS US Fundamentals Book Edition 8. I am trying to arrange for the changes from edition 8 to latest edition 10. Also I am preparing for the exam by looking at the syllabus listed at website.

    My personal email ID is- mailsharry@gmail.com

    All the Best

    ​Did you know that RAPS has a forum set up for each of the RAC exams?  They don't seem to get much use, but they are there.  If people who register are automatically made members, that would be a good place to look for a study group.  If you have to join yourself, then probably not so much.
