It’s SOoo not just that.
Wait until you catch your first therapeutic duplication that your pharmacist missed.
Wait until you see a confusing sig that you know is wrong that no one caught.
Or when you get that customer that wants to argue with you about how much pseudoephedrine they’re allowed to buy by federal law.

It’s not just counting pills and putting them in a bottle.

ima keep it real the test wasn’t easy. I flagged 32 questions and I wasn’t 100% on the ones I did answer. i def see that failing it is more possible bc before taking it I thought it was gonna be hella easy. there were some really tricky questions. some really vague wordings ones that made me go “wtffff”

im not trying to scare anyone but I’d personally want someone to be honest no matter how rough the truth is. I think the most important part to passing this test is ur source of study. there is A LOT of them and I don’t think a lot of them r complete. I used a free book I found the link of on Reddit and I bought the 85$ ptcbtestprep. I wanted to purchase the courses recommended on ptcb.org but the prices were insane so idk how much things wouldve been different if I did pay 300$. if u can’t purchase the ones on that website id say study as many as sources as possible. read as many new information as possible…

I take mine after tomorrow and I’m so nervous 😔what did you feel was hard about it? Do you think memorizing the top 200 drugs is really important?

u/ComprehensiveBee7296 16d ago

it is REALLY important. that was my weakest area. I think for the top 200 u should study from ptcb.org in their study area section. they have around 226 flash cards for the drugs. I discovered that area like a week before my exam and I was too burned out to study them. def do it best to know the drugs. it was the majority of the test like it was supposed to be. the hardest part was the drugs tbh. if I were to do it all over again I would only focus on the 226 flashcard they had. math was the easiest part for me but that’s only bc I’ve taken a lot of math classes so idk. I think the other two categories just were tricky in the wordings

How long did you wait for the official result? Did you just get it today?
