On August 20, 2019, I suddenly had the idea of wanting to take the examination of a licensed pharmacist, so through the introduction of my sister, I signed up in a training institution.

       As a zero-based person, I only applied for the two subjects of Chinese medicine synthesis and regulations. From the day of registration, I uninstalled the video software such as Douyin and Kuaishou, and started the learning path with the tutor. Because I don’t have a basic foundation, I didn’t understand the first time of comprehensive Chinese medicine. As the exam approached, I was stressed and I slept less than five hours a day. During that time, my husband took the initiative to take on all the housework, and after I got home from get off work every day, I started to attend classes and only started washing and going to bed after 12 o'clock. Sometimes it takes a little bit more at night. Although I tried my best, the simulation test papers have been hovering around fifty points or even lower. Less than a month before the exam, I was very distressed by anxiety and wanted to give up. One day, after listening to the live broadcast of the training teacher, the teacher played a "don't give up" song during the break, which instantly added confidence and strength to me, so I started to listen to the class and brush up the questions.

       Hard work pays off. In the last ten days, my simulation score improved to more than 80 points. After the exam, the two months of waiting was the most tormenting. I finally waited until I was able to check the results. I was too slow to click "query" after entering the information. Not only did my hands tremble, my heartbeat also accelerated. Fortunately, I passed. I am so happy. Time to share my results with family and friends.

      In 2020, I signed up for the training class early and started learning early. With one year of test preparation experience, it is much easier to learn. Everyone said that Chinese medicine is the most difficult subject, but following the tutor, I think it is not difficult to learn chemical composition. On the contrary, it is a dilemma in Chinese medicine. I always can’t remember the efficacy of single medicine. , I just worked hard on the Second Top of Chinese Medicine, once it didn’t work, I just listened to it twice... After the exam in 2020, I felt confident, and the results were announced. I relaxed a lot and finally got the certificate. Immediately, I chose to apply for training in western medicine. In 2021, I set a new goal for myself-to obtain a western medicine licensed pharmacist. I hope I can do so!
