which are the best study materials and where can I find them? I also would like to take this test in the near future, paid for by the wonderful kroger pharmacy
Hey Guys,
Can I still take this exam if I haven't received any sort of training at a pharmacy?

Hi, Nick. I'm hoping you can help me with this. I read a few of your other posts, noticed that you were from SC AND that you took the PTCB exam. Are you an officially certified pharmacy tech now (meaning that you have a job)? Because I've read the information about becoming a legit certified tech in the state of South Carolina and it stated that taking courses were necessary to become an official certified pharmacy tech recognized in this state.its not bad...learn the major drugs as well as the ones that the book repeatedly focuses on for bad drug interactions. I remember having several questions on Warfarin (Coumadin). The math is super basic.
How much of the test is dedicated to drug brand/generic info?
When I took it not too long ago, like 2 questions, maybe 3. A lot of practice on calculations, laws, and a basic understanding of physiology/biology will get you a solid pass. I used mosby's and totally ignored the sections on drugs/interactions, pharmacology, and epidemiology, and did fine. Spending time on the things I just mentioned that I ignored would not have improved my scores at all. Mosby's practice exams were harder than the real thing for me, too, so it's a very, very good review if you just focus on what's important.
Thank you!
When are you taking the exam?
