Girl Germs in Hixson, Tennessee 69 months ago	I took the test on aug. 27th which was the first day of the testing window. It took up until 30 minutes ago [midnight] to get my results [I PASSED YAY!!] and i'll tell all you who are destined to take this thing: the wait for the results will be the LONGEST 2 weeks of your life LOL. Also, it was a little hard for me, being uninformed and all, to find out where you go to check your results online. I thought i'd provide the link incase anyone else is having this problem www.proexam.org/ptcb/review/index.page It doesn't tell you the details of your test, only if you pass or fail [the other stuff comes in the mail] So anyway here's my question. Everyone whos passed knows you get a "congratulations you passed the PTCE" from the board, but what do they say to you when you fail? Is it a simple "we're greatly sorry to inform you but you failed!"?? Just thought i'd ask. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (92) / No (36) Reply - Report abuse

Girl Germs in Hixson, Tennessee 68 months ago	I didnt make a password beforehand either, i just typed one in. Like if you wanted it to be APPLES then it will be APPLES. Just make sure its one that you cant forget. If tht doesnt work, then make sure of the date your results are available - Was this comment helpful? Yes (13) / No (4) Reply - Report abuse

Girl Germs in Hixson, Tennessee 66 months ago	It most assuredly IS NOT a walk in the park. Thats why I had formal training in school by a PHARM.D as a teacher and had a whole semester on pharmaceutical calculations. There's no way I would have passed the math part without it. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (8) / No (6) Reply - Report abuse

keandegh in Fort Worth, Texas 65 months ago	I took the test on December 27, (yesterday) and for some reason it says my results wont be available until 3 weeks away. Are they available online faster than that? And also a 650 out of 900 is like 72 percent, is that how they grade it? Do you have to get over 70 percent to pass???? - Was this comment helpful?

Beklyn23 in cape coral, Florida 65 months ago	I tool my test on 11/29, and when I left they handed me a paper that said my results would be avaiable online on 12/14. I thought the results would show sooner, but they were poster on 12/14. They grade using those numbers (650-900) you need the 650 to pass. I guess you could consider the 650 a 70% or a C. It is a scaled grade go here this explains the scoring procedure: www.ptcb.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Exam_Information&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=2238 - Was this comment helpful?

VRose in Belle Glade, Florida 61 months ago	alma in Sunnyside, Washington said: i'm gona go take my test anywhere between (4-28 THRU 6-20). should i be nervous? i have been a tech for bout 3 yrs now, but working in pharmacy for over 5 yrs now. We do not know if you should be nervous? even though one post above said he/she has been a tech and she failed the test...does that make you nervous? I have no exp, and taking the test tomorrow.. will i be nervous, hell ya...I would rather pass it the first time, and brag to the hospital that called me for an interview in one week, then fail the test, walk away pissy, and have to study for another month before i can take it again, and loose another $95.00... yes, you should be nervous. :) - Was this comment helpful?

VRose in Belle Glade, Florida 61 months ago	I PASSED! I passed my exam by 3 points :) - during the exam I was almost sure I was not going to pass, there was only about 10 math questions, most of them were super easy, and one w/v problem...most of the math was like I gtts po tid hs, eyes/ears, there were no date laws at all, a lot of HIPPA stuff, there were about 10-15 drug questions about brand/generic/use which i am fairly weak in, there were lots of common since questions that probably helped me alot, there were a couple conversion mg/ml, no allegations, rules/regulation type questions, and there were tons of questions on CII rules/drugs, etc..there were a few simple multiply questions like how long will this last...II tsp po qid am for 3 days...how long will it last/day supply...etc...it was luck that passed, and not skill of actually knowing the answers, i knew i answered a lot correctly, but there was tons of questions that i just had no clue on what so ever.... - Was this comment helpful?

DT in Los Angeles, California 60 months ago	What else do u have to do after you passed the PTCE exam? I heard someone said that you have to register to get your finger print or something like that to get your real license. The only thing the PTCE board sent me was a piece certification that doesn't look like any other tech. license i have seem. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (8) / No (3) Reply - Report abuse
cdo206 in Seattle, Washington 60 months ago	umm the site that lets you know whether you pass or fail. what password are they looking for? i just took my test on May 17, should it be up already? i did a computer base test. there were 90 questions total. so i guess each question is a 10 pointer. from what i'm hearing, if one finishes the whole 90 questions, they failed? correct me if im wrong. thanks in advance. - Was this comment helpful?

felice colbert in Nashville, Tennessee 59 months ago	Hey!! I took the Exam May 27th 2008! I was very nervous throughout, which is normal..because I didn't know what to expect. I want to thank Girl Germs for setting up the link to obtain your Exam Results! Thanx so much for that valuable information! On June 13th (Friday) I went on line to find out my Exam Results and didn't have a clue where to look until I saw the Girl Germs information! I PASSED!! I'm so thankful to the Lord!! Never would have made it without you... - Was this comment helpful? Yes (8) / No (4) Reply - Report abuse

MellyNelly in Springfield, Ohio 59 months ago	Yes, I agree with you Nikki. Knowledge comes from hard work and diligence. Not from praying to the Lord. If you want something hard enough, you have to be willing to work for it.I took the test today. The main thing I will give you a hint on is that you need to know your conversions. Make sure you know all your conversions, front and back, and that should give you a good head start to a great outcome! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (8) / No (22) Reply - Report abuse
girlygirl in Downers Grove, Illinois 59 months ago	it sure does! "trust in the Lord with all your heart and LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight" Proverbs 3:5 No matter how hard you work for it, if not with the Lord's help, you're not gonna make it. You can say you worked hard your whole life and made it on your own, but behind all that is God helping you through. anyway, i took mine last week, i'll know if i passed or failed tomorrow. the review books are definitely harder than the test itself. - Was this comment helpful?

Millie Cabos in Houston, Texas 58 months ago	Im scheduled to take my exam on Aug. 18th. I just bought a book to help me prepare, but is there something that I really need to focus on, and is there something that I don't need to learn at all? I have a short amount of time and want to make sure I pass. The test is $130 and the book was $72, I don't want my money to go to waste. I bought the book Pharmacy Technician certification exam review by Patricia K.

Devon in Plainfield, Illinois 58 months ago	ozzy in Georgetown, Kentucky said: how many years of college do you need to become a pharmacy tech Lol. U Don't Need Any College To Become A Pharmacy Tech. U Can Just Take The PTCB Exam And Get Certified That Way. There Are Programs At Community Colleges That Can Be Completed In 3 Months.
