Now, it's the happy hour, a beautiful day - so it's a tall cool one for me and my chair on the deck to celebrate! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!

This is a great book to prepare you for the pharmacy technician certification exam. It has enough information to prepare you without overwhelming you too much data. I studied this book for 4 weeks and passed with flying colors in December 2008.

A good study guide

I took the March 2006 PTCE and began studying for it in November 2005. Over that time I aquired many different books (as I suggest you do if you already haven't) to study for the test (Check out the rates of passing on ptcb.org). When used with a multitude of other books it will obviously take a lot more time to get through all of the books in entirity. this book in particular is a bire more of a review over many things you may already know. So I wouldn't necessarily reccomend this as the first book you begin study with. I found this to be very informative and helpful. Every chapter is like a review and it is followed by a series of quizzes. But if this is one of the books you are using to study (keep in mind studying for more than 20 minutes at a time is considered cramming and you absorb less of what you read) you may just possibly want to begin studying sooner than I had. This, is no small book. You need a very fair amount of time to properly read through then review all you should have learned by books end.
