Outstanding study guide... everything you need to know is in it!, 2008-08-15
This book includes everything you need to know for the PTCB exam and keeps it straight to the point. They don't bury you in a bunch of irrelevant crap like some other books I checked out first. I studied the book for a max of two hours before the exam and passed with flying colors. I'm glad I did my research before deciding to go with this book- I was quite pleased with the results!

Horrible book with lack of information, 2008-01-10
This book is the worse book ever. It only has 50 pages to prepare you for the pharmacy technician and the rest are just exams. For those who have pharmacy experience, this book would be okay for you but for those like me who doesn't have any and would like to self-study, then it isn't for you. Honestly, the book is just a complete waste of money. It is only 170 pages or around there while the other books are over 400 pages. The book is also useless in preparing for the exam because I didn't pass by using this book. It does not mention drug interactions or touch on it unlike Del Mar's book. This book is a piece of crap. Do not buy and waste your money. You will not pass the exam if you buy this one because it barely expands on the topic. I recommend Del Mar's book because it has the most pages ever (600 pages.) Best book there. Just don't buy this one.

Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Review PTCB Book, 2007-11-26
This is a great book for someone who is planning on taking the PTCB. It does a wonderful job of preparing you. It makes things very simple and has correct information in the book. I would recommend also purchasing the book from this author that includes the pharmacy calculations. It makes passing the test easy and takes you through step by step. A++++ Books. I firmly believe anyone can pass the PTCB just by studying these books.

Helpful, but with errors., 2007-09-23
This book offered many helpful pointers to a technician who hasn't done hospital work and needs some refreshing on mathematical procedures. But if you're turning to this book for Chapter 7's Top 200 Drugs, be prepared to learn incorrect information. There were strengths that weren't listed, incorrect strengths listed, and the use of the drugs was vague to questionable. The practice tests also differ from the actual certification test. I spent hours stressing and trying to memorize facts and dates that the actual test never even touched on. Some was helpful, but some was not quite right.
