PTCB july exam in california

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm registered to take the PTCB exam in July in California. I am

currently studying the Certification Review for Pharmacy Technicians

by Noah Reifman. I have a couple of questions:

1)Do I need to know specific California laws that are not in this

book? If so, where can I find this info.

2)What part of the material should I concentrate on most. I heard

that math is about 50% of the exam?

3)Is the whole exam multiple choice on a scantron?

Thank you! I've been studying at home, and I am SO relieved to have

found a site like this. Thanks!!!

Hi Sommy-

Welcome to the group.

The PTCB exam sticks to Federal Law questions---too much variance in

state laws when it comes to tech duties/responsibilites---

I doubt the exam would be 50% math---although it may seem like it to

some. You will need to be comfortable and proficient in pharmacy

math, no doubt about it. (we have lots of tutorials in our files

section)

The test questions cover 3 areas---here's the breakdown percentage

from the PTCB website:

*Assisting the pharmacist in serving patients---64%

*Maintaining medication and inventory control systems 25%

*Participation in administration and management of

pharmacy practice 11%

In addition, each question is scaled according to its difficulty.

That is, some questions are worth more points than others.

The test is multiple choice, the answer sheets are electronically

scored.

When will you be taking the exam?

Dear Sommy,

Yes it is a good book. However like ALL books it does have its share

of errors. Some typos and some incorrect answers.

It is one of the oldest or original review books, now in its 6th

edition.

Take a look at the files section and the book and guidebook review

that I have compiled and placed on this site a while back.

Once again I am way ahead of your and your needs! You WILL find

Noah's book on that list.

Hope this helps you out,

Respectfully,
