Pharmacy Technician Tests Pharmacy technician tests are valuable tools for exam preparation especially in addition to training.They provide a good indication of areas that you may be weak in determined by the questions you might have gotten wrong, which would call for review of those areas.
What exactly are pharmacy technician tests and how can they help you?
Most pharmacy technician tests will be multiple choice, this is the format the PTCB uses and will be timed, the PTCB gives you a longer time period to complete the test, pharmacy technician tests may not, which is good because if you’ve really studied well; than you should be able to answer the questions fairly quickly(this does not mean you should rush through the exam) on the practice test which means when you sit for the real test/exam you’ll have time to complete the test by answering every single question as well as go back and review your answers before submitting the exam.
Each time you attempt a test your score will reveal areas that you may need more review in, you might think you know certain areas well but the test you take will reveal the truth.
See below to view sample questions from the practice test:
1. Which of the following drugs is more likely to cause photosensitivity?
2. How many milligrams of 20% zinc oxide ointment will deliver 10 g of zinc oxide?
3. How many 300 mg clindamycin capsules are required to compound a prescription reading: "clindamycin 1%, propylene glycol 5%, isopropyl alcohol q.s. ad 480 mL"?
These are just sample questions, the actual test is timed and contains over 100 questions in multiple choice format covering all aspects of pharmacy thus giving you exam familiarity and revealing your weak and strong areas plus your test taking skills.
