Customer Reviews

Outstanding study guide... everything you need to know is in it!

This book includes everything you need to know for the PTCB exam and keeps it straight to the point. They don't bury you in a bunch of irrelevant crap like some other books I checked out first. I studied the book for a max of two hours before the exam and passed with flying colors. I'm glad I did my research before deciding to go with this book- I was quite pleased with the results!

Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Review PTCB Book

This is a great book for someone who is planning on taking the PTCB. It does a wonderful job of preparing you. It makes things very simple and has correct information in the book. I would recommend also purchasing the book from this author that includes the pharmacy calculations. It makes passing the test easy and takes you through step by step. A++++ Books. I firmly believe anyone can pass the PTCB just by studying these books.

PTCB Exam Review

I train pharmacy technicians, and this is the best, most concise review book I have seen. Almost everything on the test is covered here.

An excellent overview

There is a very good reason this series is endorsed by the NPTA. Of the six or so books that I used to study for the exam, this was the most helpful by far. It reviews every topic on the exam, and is a great starting place to see what you need more work on. This is the book that got me a passing score on the exam, and I don't really think I can give it higher praise than that.

Great workbook

This book is a great study guide to prepare for the certification exam. The book is easy to read and it leaves out all the fluff that is in the other study books. After reading and doing the practice exams I found what my weaknesses were and was able to go back to my schoolbooks to strengthen those areas. I took the certification exam this month (March) and think I did fine; there are a lot of math questions in the exam and wish I spent more time in that area. If I were to do this all over I would recommend buying Calculations: The pharmacy technician series.
