Pharmacy Calculation Help needed!

Hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm taking the ptcb in a few months. I have worked as a tech on & off for 5 years. The practice exams have calculations on them that I never came across while working in the pharmacy before. Is there a book that can break these down step by step that can help? Any advice would be more than appreciated.
Thanks

This is what i used to study for the ptcb.

A public library near you might have it or a similar book.

I used Mosby's book and passed the PTCB last summer after 2 wks of studying. The math is really different from anything in college, through calculus. I just started a summer pharm tech job and need to work on figuring out doses quickly. I'm hoping after a few 8 hr shifts, it'll be easy. Good luck!
