I took the PTCB exam on September 17, 2005 in Chicago. I currently work at CVS Pharmacy and ONLY used Noah Reifman's book to prepare for the exam.

I bought this book for my studies of the PTCB test that took place in March 2005 & PASSED the test!!! This book has IDENTIICAL questions from the PTCB test itself!!! Trust me...

I'm med student (looking for summer job to help me learn my meds for next year) & had no knowledge of the profession.

His formulas are excellent and...
