Mosby's Review for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I took a class at the local college before using this book to go over some practice tests and I have noticed that on a few questions the answers given by the answer key were incorrect. I thought that I was wrong at first, but I brought it to my teacher's attention and she actually agreed that the answer key was incorrect. On one question I found a digit of a number missing on the correct answer, so there was no correct answer choice available and on another one the definition for qid was left out of the possible answer, so again there was no correct answer to choose from. Those are just minor thing I found, but I began to wonder if all the answers on drug names etc were correct. I have no way of finding out until I actually work in a pharmacy for a while.I like the CDrom that comes with it... but again, I have found some errors on it regarding feedback on answers. Eg, it rated my answer as incorrect, but the explanation showed my choice of answer correct. I would still recommend the book, but I would double check answers if you are unsure about the answer key. At the price you pays for it, I expected it to be proof-read and double checked. Overall, it's good practice and you should get enough out of it to pass the PTCE.
Update: If I would take away another star I would do so... I've studied a lot more over the last week and have encountered some more "proof-reading" errors. Now, this tool is making me more insecure about my knowledge.

The Pharmacy Technician's Pocket Drug Reference (Apha Pharmacy Tehcnician Training Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work in a fairly large hospital pharmacy and was hoping for
a referance I could pick and use at a moment's notice. In the
couple of months I've been carrying this book around it has never
once been of any use to me.

This guide's area of speciality is aimed at the top 200 most prescribed drugs in a retail setting, an area where most experianced technicians really don't need much help. It is particulary light in the area of injectable medications used in a hospital setting.

The print is a little larger than I'd like. A lot more information or item listings could have been included if a smaller font size had been used.

For newly minted technicians working in a retail setting this book is probably worth the expense. I'm still looking for something more suitable.
