Hi, what is the best book to study for PTCB test and is this book are up-to-dated? What about the math calculation does is have alot of it to practice and other subject too? How do I get walgreen intern premit to work after I pass the test? I don't know how many people have taking the PTCB test that are passed and I am not sure I can pass the PTCB test after I study it? Please, anyone who have gone throught this path let me know and I appreciated your advise.

I noticed you used the word "volunteer" in your title. You will never be allowed to volunteer as a pharmacy tech in many places.. some hospital pharmacies do have volunteers, but your status is considered lower then low, and as a volunteer, you will not be allowed to do much of anything, maybe put put drugs back on shelf, do some drug running...thats about it.

in reality, I do not know which PTCB is better then another, every time i think i find one, it has bad comments, or constant errors in the book...knowing your math will improve your scoring chances over anything else...and for a new person looking in a book at math forumulas can become overwelming very quickly..then you have to do with with the fact you have to self study, its not an easy task
as some make it out to be...if self study was easy, then the whole
population would be taking courses online...self study takes a lot of
self control...you can not possibity study and remember everything
in any book, but if you remember anything, make sure its your math
formulas...

When I took the test, it was extremly easy. I took a course provided by Walgreens which presented us with a ton of formulas and such. They were all useless on the exam. My advice is to know that there are 5 mls in a teaspoon and 15 mls in a tbls, and there are 30 mls in an oz. Also, it's important to know how to cross multiply. Each and everyone of my coworkers had a question about the "lamnar hood" (how to use it, clean it, etc. I've never used one in my life and still dont know exactly what it is..) Also, my test had a TON of legal questions (incepted laws, what there names are, which was awful because the only one I knew was HIPPA :/) There were no drug interaction questions or anything like that.
It's pretty easy to pass. Work at walgreens. They provide paid for courses and pay for the test up to three times and provide a book, work book, and flash cards.
