I actually classified and counted each question type on my exam in July, and then figured out the percentages. (That's how much time I had left over!)
If I remember correctly, my form had only about 30% math. There was about 50% on what I classified as laws, procedures in a pharmacy, scope of pharmacy technician work, aseptic technique, etc. And the last 20% was drugs.
There were about 10 forms of the test (assuming different colors mean different forms.) I guess different forms emphasize different types of questions.
I passed with minimal pharmacy experience (I was a part time pharmacy clerk back in high school for a year, and remembered about 30 or 40 drugs and some laws before I started studying). I got an 831.
To study...
I studied mostly from Certification Review For Pharmacy Technicians by Noah Reifman. I had another book but I did not find it to be very useful. I made a drug monograph binder with dividers for different classes, and listed drugs by generics with trade names, therapeutic classification, dosage forms and strengths, special considerations, and appropriate auxilliary labels for each drug. But I focused mainly on generic name and therapeutic classes, and pretty much just skimmed the other stuff. Then I made notecards with generic names on one side and therapeutic classification on the other side, and I practiced until I consistently got 90% accuracy, but I never really got above that.
I found the math to be pretty easy if you have had much college chemistry, so I didn't study that much for it. Also, I thought the study materials I was using for math were overcomplicated if you know basic algebra, so I just ignored the little tricks and tools in my book because it is too much to memorize, and I just used standard chemistry calculation methods.
Good luck!
