[@lonzotariq3613]

Just took mine last Wednesday and passed !!!! Don’t be scared you guys!!! It’s not a difficult test to pass! Pro tip: read each question CAREFULLY!! Don’t stress about it!! That only makes it worse and you’ll psyche yourself out!! Right down all of the conversions you can on your paper at the start of the test so you don’t forget during the test! And really try to study brand and generic, high alert meds, drug interactions and side effects and also stability

[@RosaPerez]

great advice!! Totally agree with all of your advice and tips.

[@nastiinate6287]

I took the PTCB exam two weeks ago, I passed with a score of 1584 🥳! It was apart of my 2020 personal development goal for work and a requirement for my new position. I studied proportions, allegations, conversions and the metric for the math portion and used free apps and online quizzes for the basic knowledge. I chose the proctored online version which was a very easy process. Good luck to everyone!!

[@RosaPerez]

That’s awesome Nate! I agree with you those are all of the topics I studied as well and I made sure to look at the guide for anything else that I didn’t completely understand such as controls and classes of controls! I didn’t get a chance to take a proctored online exam because I took my exam in February of this year so I would love to hear about your experience taking the online portion as I’m sure that’s way different than taking it at a testing center! Thanks for sharing your experience and I’m so glad that you passed! 🤗

[@imaniiimei]

Nastii Nate omg thank you for this comment!! congratulations!! I’m taking it online at home myself in 2 weeks.. what do you feel the new exam was based heavily on what subjects?? Brand/Generic? Drug Interactions? Storage? SIG? Conversions? .. Laws/Regulations? Reimbursement?

[@RosaPerez]

Hi there! I feel like the new exam focused a lot on laws and regulations, conversions, insulin dosages, amoxicillin dosages, and some on generic and brand names! I hope this helps!

[@nastiinate6287]

The new exam is a representation of the knowledge a seasoned retail technician should have. The metric system, proportions and allegations are important to know. You may get 5 math questions or 10 so don’t skip the math! Study only federal laws, this a national test. Study drug interactions, storage, brand/generic, SIGs, etc. They no longer have sterile compounding questions because there is now a separate exam for that. Also brush up on ISMP sound alike/look alike list. Taking the PeasonVue practice exam was also very helpful, it’s layout is exactly like the proctored exam. I must have had an easier version of the exam because there were only 4 questions out of 90 that I had no knowledge on. Good luck!

[@MUBcrochet]

@Nastii That's what I'm talking about! Congratulations!!!!

Rosa Perez thank you! And it was pretty easy for the most part! I had a few questions that I didn’t know the answer to so I had to go with the one that made more sense to me!😊 I didn’t have a lot of math on mine which made me happy since math is my worst subject!

[@RosaPerez]

Dianna Garcia That’s how I felt too when I took it! I didn’t feel like it was too difficult in all honesty I’m not sure if you had any experience working in the pharmacy prior to taking your exam but I know that really helped me in mine :) Mine didn’t have a lot of math either so that really helps to release all my stress too! 🤗 I’m glad your exam wasn’t bad! I didn’t take the home version but I’m sure that made it more comfortable!

[@diannagarcia489]

Rosa Perez I was enrolled at a pharmacy technician program at my community college I feel like that helped me tremendously! And I was also doing clincals before covid happened so I feel like the clincals helped as well!😊 the at home version definitely relieved some anxiety!

But ONE QUESTION: How accurate is the preliminary score when you take the PTCB at home?! I mean, I can only imagine it being changed to a not pass if they watch back my webcam footage and see an issue but I absolutely did nothing against policy. Should I celebrate or is it too soon??? Do they ever change a 'pass' to a 'no pass' ???

Make sure to take the exam when you are completely ready and study a lot before hand. Thank you I appreciate it. For the math I recommend tongue go with your style of studying how you think you will remember it best. For me it meant leaving off the math until the last minute so I don’t forget it but if you’re a person who can learn and will retain information and needs to go over it more to understand it I say do as many practice problems until you can do them without any assistance.

I'm gonna save up the money from my gas station job to pay for certification out of pocket The reason is because I'm having trouble actually getting a job in pharmacy tech is because I'm awkward in job interviews. I always get fired from jobs for impulsivity issues/saying inappropriate things out loud. I have mental health issues, which is why I became interested in pharmacology. I'm also scared about the 9-5 thing because last time I had a 9-5 my sleep schedule wouldn't adjust no matter how hard I tried and I ended up getting 3 hours a night for like 8 months..... So now I work an afternoon shift and it's Greta but it's minimum wage....

What’s the best way you studied when it came down to memorizing the drugs? Because I wanted to remember it and not just memorize it for the little quizzes. I want to make sure I still remember it for the board exam. I have kind of a hard time keeping track of what they all are. I am also in the passassured pharmacy tech program right now for my school.

I associated the drugs with what they were used to treat on a patient. Ex: metformin=diabetes. That was the best way for me. Fluconazole=yeast infections/fungus... stuff like that. I hope this helps and try memorizing them that way.

Look over these if you have time to do so! Chapter 7, 9, 12. The exam was based more heavily on laws and regulations as opposed to sterile/non-sterile compounding!!

Hi there! I say you should take a look at the new and current PTCB Guide online I have it linked in my video as well if you can’t find it online. See if the topics correspond with the outline and if they do I don’t think you should invest your money in a new book. Most of the time new addition of books don’t really have any major changes but if you do feel more comfortable getting another book I know they have it on Amazon for about $40. That’s my advice to you double check the book you have with the current guide and as long as everything looks like it corresponds you should be OK to use it.

@@irmaolivares9795 I plan to study on my own without taking class so I am nervous, i do not know should I take class before the exam or I can study on my own.

[@Tiffany-o8v]

And actually I planned to take class before taking the exam, however, the class already started this week and the schedule overlap with my anatomy class :( so I have to study for the test on my own.

[@RosaPerez]

I got it from my walgreens class but im sure you can find the same sheet on quizlet. I did take the class before the exam. Everything I needed was in the book and I didn't find the class that necessary for me. If you follow the PTCB test outline which is on their website and use the book I have linked to focus on the areas you will be tested on you should have no problem passing the exam.

[@RosaPerez]

That was my best way to study as I did not remember much from the class regardless since I completed the class in November 2019 and took my exam on February 8th 2020.

[@NerdGyrl101]

Hi, do you still have access to the worksheets you were given during your classes?

[@RosaPerez]

The information is also in the books I suggested on the amazon link.

[@KrisH-ri6eo]

Passed mine the second time. Don’t give up though. Just don’t think we get paid enough for all the work put in. I was national certified and work at a hospital but pay was disappointing. Back at school for associates degree in applied science to get nationally certified surgical technologist certification where pay is better and can work my way up to surgical assist or first assist!

[@RosaPerez]

I agree the pay is definitely not enough, but it is a good role to start out and well trying to get your foot into the healthcare field. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

[@shawaiis2844]

I finished my training program almost 3 weeks ago and I’ve now want to study for the exam. But all the information is overwhelming I don’t know what to start with all the notes I have from class. I haven’t scheduled to take the exam but will it be smart to schedule the exam first and study until the day of ?

[@RosaPerez]

Hi there! Make sure to print out the PTCB guide and use that to help you in studying. If you use the book I talk about in the video it makes the process easier as the chapters correlate with the guide. If you are using your own notes make sure they go along with the guide to aid in your studying. Yes that would be a good idea as long as you are reviewing a good amount each day. If you don't feel very confident or you don't have much work experience in the Pharmacy I say that at least a month is necessary in order to pass. If you do, and do not want to rush or be overwhelmed, take at least 2 weeks to study for the exam. :) I wish you the best of luck and let me know if you have any more questions!

[@stephaniephan6911]

out of the two books, which one do you prefer more?

[@RosaPerez]

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for reaching out! I prefer The Pharmacy Technician because you have practice math problems on there and they have everything you need to read in order to pass the exam!

[@stephaniephan6911]

Rosa Perez ahh thanks for replying!!! are you talking about the color one?

Yes I’m talking about that one :) and you’re welcome!

Let me know how it goes taking it online at home! I say go for it if there’s no distractions at home that may cause an issue during exam time and if you have reliable internet! I unfortunately can’t speak in the home version because I took it in February 2020 right before the virus happened.

I did not use any website I just used the book. I can't completely say because everyones style of studying is different but if it takes you awhile to memorize and learn material then start studying as early as possible.

READ HERE !!!* Hello my dear friends I know we all are wondering if it's real to get a registered NCLEX-RN/LPN License and a (PTCE) and the Exam for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ExCPT) exam. ... Once certified, a pharmacy technician is granted the title of Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT). with desire scores without taking exams. But I just wish to inform you all now that my family, me, my wife and sister got our desire scores from the help of Mr Houston, today am so happy and I promised to recommend to him more clients and as possible he is the best believe me. I went for PTCB my husband went for LPN and my sister needed to upgrade her previous status from a fail to a pass for NCLEX-RN and he did for us. He provided I and my husband with the exact questions and answers that we met on the day of our exams. If you want to get to him. You can contact him on WhatsApp at [phone] OR Email: [e-mail] give him no doubt for he is the best ever. I appreciate you Mr Houston

Hi Lora! Thanks for reaching out! Find a study style that suits you the best :) make flash cards if that is helpful for you. For me, I repeat things over and over until they stick and I know I won’t forget or use real life examples. Make sure you also ask for accommodations when you are applying to take the PTCB exam to allow you to have more time! Also don’t rush to take the exam make sure you do it when you are ready. I hope these tips help in your studying and I wish you the best of luck on your exam.

Yes that’s correct Jenny you do have to either complete the course program which you can find online by looking them up or having a minimum of 500 hours of pharmacy technician experience. I took a class that was offered through my employer to take the exam and they paid for it!

Hi Viviana! Thanks for reaching out! How long have you been studying for the exam? I say since your last couple days of studying to make sure to go over any math that may be troubling you. Do not go over compounding as it is not on the exam. Go over pharmacy laws as well. It’s very important to also go over classes of controls. Do you feel like you have enough knowledge on the medications or what they are used for?

[@viviannamartinez3291]

Rosa Perez I want to say about a week. I’m just having a hard time knowing what to study. I feel like I’m all over the place! 😅 I’m nervous.

[@RosaPerez]

Don’t be nervous! You already have a good amount of experience from being in the pharmacy for a year. If you’re working this week try to ask the pharmacist as well if there’s anything they recommend you look over! Definitely do amoxicillin dosing questions with them if time allows :)

[@flowers44444444]

How was your exam? Did you have a lot of pharmacology and math?

[@viviannamartinez3291]

Cactus Rose it was good. Not to hard actually. I had a couple of math questions but mostly basic stuff we do in the pharmacy. Maybe one or two amoxicillin dose calculations. My test had mostly pharmacology and some law. So learn generic and brand names as well as drug drug interactions.
