 Mosby's Review for the PTCB November 26, 2007
This book is OKAY. The practice questions are good, but it isn't very thorough on actually teaching. If you only need practice problems then this is a good book, but if you don't know the information and need to be taught don't buy this book. If you need to learn the information I'd buy two books written by Mark Johnston which are The Exam Review and Pharmacy Calculations. They actually teach step by step. There also were several erros in this book. They did a very poor job of proof reading. There are tons of spelling errors. Also, there is several places where there is wrong information. For example in in the list of the most common drugs it states the wrong generic names for the some of the drugs, but when you get to the practice questions it has them correct. I passed the test, but I would credit it to the other books that I used. I only used this one for the practice questions.
 Awesome PTCB review book but CD-ROM notecards should be printable! October 24, 2007

This book, by Mosby's, by far is the best,most comprehensive PTCB review book out available now. The CD-ROM is the best resource provided in this book and is worth every dime. It runs well on a Macintosh and that is impressive!! Although the CD-ROM is not perfect, it provides you with important study questions for the test and the interactive drug flash/note cards.
My only gripe about the CD-ROM is that the drug flash/ note cards aren't printable!! Was this a deliberate attempt by Mosby's or a mere oversight?!
For a person who is already in cram condition to study for the lengthy certified PTCB, it is essential to be able to print the cards to study for important study guides. Think about all the time you could save if you could let your laser printer print the cards instead of tediously hand-copying them to note cards. This is 2007, and you know it can be done!! Deliberate or not, this is a HUGE oversight and one that should be corrected in the next edition. If anyone has figured out a way to print them for personal study purposes, please let me know!!
The pharmacy tech information is relatively recent. Without a doubt, this book gets you the most bang for your bucks. Highly recommended by The Review Zone.com
 So many errors! September 15, 2007
The book and the CD are FULL of errors. It's certainly helpful to be able to take the interactive tests on CD but beware! The results can easily lead you astray if you don't already know the material. Questions are poorly worded and many answers are just flat out wrong. This book is marketed as a "REVIEW". If you don't already know the material, this book WON'T teach it. You'll need other sources for learning.
VERY GOOD! May 10, 2007

very good book for the PTCB test, loaded with real good information. I feel that all pharmacy technician programs should include this book with their programs.
 I Like It :) May 7, 2007

It definitely has just about everything you need to know for the PTCB Test. I Really liked how it came with a cd-rom so i could just study on the computer too.
