I've been a Certified Tech for a few years and have been helping others to become Certifed also. This is the best reference I have found that not only helps with brand/generic but with calculations. I highly recommend any Technician that wishes to become Certified to check this book out. You won't find a better practice exam anywhere.

While every pharmacy tech should read and know the information presented in this book, it is not a very good study guide for the PTCE. The PTCE consists mainly of math calculations and conversions, pharmacy law and procedures, and basic drug knowledge(Controlled drugs especially). This book is too informative for its own good. It has 41 different drug classes w/ the generic and brand name drugs and their side effects. It barely touches on pharmacy law and math calculations, and doesn't mention pharmacy procedure at all. If you have worked in a pharmacy and know law and procedure and do not need help with any basic math conversions than this is a nice, comprehensive review, but as far as helping you pass the PTCE, this is not the book for most people.

My name is Michelle. I passed my pharmacy technician certificate exam. I liked this book very much, although I found some printing errors. This book has everything you need to pass PTCe exam. I serched for many books but in none of book I found information on drugs. This book has a plenty information on drugs. The practice test of this book is simulated with PTCE examination question. The calculation found on this book is carbon copy of calculation problem found in exams. Must check out !

I bought the pharmacy technician book to help me with my pharm. tech certification. I researched many books before buying this one. It was very well written, acurate, & affordable. It touched base with every subject I needed to cover. Needless to say, I had no problem passing the exam! I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in become a certified pharmacy technician.

I used this review guide for preparation of PTCE exam. 500 questions with complete explanation helped me lot in passing PTCB exam. The questions are carbon copy of what I saw in exams. Its looks like author knows what students going to face in the exam. 125 questions practice test similar questions which I found in my exam. I think every student preparing for technician exam must check out this reference guide. Every penny spends on this review guide is wise.

This book is nothing but a long list of meds. It's good if you want to learn what category a med falls into, but as far as learning for the Pharm Tech Exam, it's a waste of money. I'm not even gonna get into the number of gramatical errors that were present. I'm not trying to be rude, but whoever wrote this book doesn't deserve the title "R.Ph" if they can't write a complete sentence that makes sense. I'm not even lying when I say that half of the sentences written don't make sense. And apparently the word "law" is spelled "low" and one kilogram equals 1000 miligrams (which we all know should be 1000 grams).

This was the first book I began to study with. I'm not sure I'd recommend this to use as your very first study guide but I would definitely say put in the money to add this to your aresenal.

The book is in what can be described as an outline form.

Ex:
Drug category
Expliantion/Defenition of category
Drug name Generic Dose/administration
