 not even close to new, 2008-11-11
When I ordered the book I was told it was in perfect condition. It might have left that way, but it didn't arrive that way...The top and bottom right hand corners are bent and the cover is torn. There is also a lot of black stuff on the front cover and edges of the pages. My guess is that this is due to the way it was packaged for shipping. The book measures 8 1/2"w x 11 1/2"h x 1/2"d. The box it came in measures 14"w x 12"h x 3"d and it did not have any packing material inside. My guess is it traveled 3,000 miles flopping around in that box. I emailed the seller twice with no response.
Thanks,
Gloria Beatty

 Great workbook to study for PTCB exam when used in conjunction with textbook, 2008-09-09
I studied for my PTCB national certification exam using this workbook and the textbook "The Pharmacy Technician, 3rd ed" by Morton Publishing. Although the textbook was helpful, this workbook offered many additional study problems that complemented the textbook. The workbook offers a variety of problems, presented in a slew of different ways so you can verify your understanding of the various subjects. Types of different questions include true/false, fill in the blank, matching problems, mathematical conversion exercises and more.
I think if you purchased just the workbook, some of the concepts might be confusing if you'd never been exposed to them before. However, as a supplement to the textbook, it is very effective. These books definitely helped me pass my exam on the first try and I highly recommend this workbook.

Good book, but not on it's own..., 2008-06-12
I've been using The Pharmacy Technician (2nd edition) and this workbook for self-study over the past 2.5 months. I read the text book cover to cover and I've been casually quizzing myself with this book.
I agree with another one of the reviewers: Unless you have a textbook to go along with this book, it can be hard to use. I would HIGHLY recommend getting BOTH!! The workbook does not really explain any of the answers, which can make it hard to grasp a concept if you don't have something more detailed to refer to. Sometimes, I'll miss a question in the workbook and REALLY have to dig for it in the text book. It would be nice if, in the answer key, they could either include explanations or at least tell you where to look.
The layout of the book is simple & helpful. Each chapter is basically a detailed vocabulary list. At the end of each chapter, there are fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple choice, true/false, and open-ended questions to check understanding. The questions are challenging and will prepare you well, but again, GET THE TEXTBOOK WITH IT. Great book for reviewing, though. It also has a handy list in the back of the top 200 drugs that makes for easy index card making.
(If you're looking for a good math study book, APhA's Complete Math Review for the Pharmacy Technician is REALLY good! Really prepares you well for the math part. I took the practice test in the Workbook & Cert. Review and got EVERY SINGLE math question right.)
No matter which books you get, you need to put in the time or none of them will help! If you haven't taken any courses, I'd recommend at LEAST 2 months (2-3 hrs/day) with the books I mentioned.

Excellent Review, 2008-05-04
The book is an excellent guide to obtaining a CPhT, it really does review all the pharmacy technician work and is repetitive enough to be informational but not repetitive enough to be annoying. I would recommend this workbook to anyone.

 NOT a 'Study on You Own' Review, 2008-05-02
This book would probably be a good review IF and only IF you have a hard text that goes along with it or you have attended a school for pharm tech for 2 yrs. This is a workbook ONLY and it doesn't explain the answers and some of the questions involve things that is I have never heard of and there was no way to figure it out without another source to go to. So IF you buy this book, make sure that you have the text book that goes along with it (and I don't know what that is) because if you are studying pharm tech on your own and you haven't gone to school for this, you will be disappointed because it is not a teaching book for review.
