Very good seller to deal with. Can't say enough good things, will buy again in the future
 great for study March 8, 2008
This book is intense, it is a great study guide, however, doesn't go into a great deal of detail in teaching. The CD that comes with it is also helpful in studying. I really like it and am glad that I bought it.
 Keep looking! January 11, 2008

There are no anwsers available for the text or workbook - So if you're hoping to be able to use the workbook as a tool for self assessment as to whether you're on track or not - this is not the book to be using!
Lots of filler, as an instructor, not a book I would choose for my students

I have been involved with Pharmacy for over 20 years and teach a pharmacy tech program here in the California area.
First, after teaching for 12 years, I have NEVER encountered a book without typos. Unfortunate? Sure, but it is the way it is.
This is the BEST book to review for the PTCE. Period. My key word here is REVIEW. This is NOT a book to get a beginner started.
Many of my students who used this book reported similar and identical questions ON the PTCE.
I own six PTCE review books. This, by far, is the best and is strongly suggested for each of my students.
This should NOT be the ONLY source of study for the PTCE.
People who wait until last minute and cram for the PTCE and then write negative things about review books have noone else to blame but themselves.
As I said, ALL books have errors. Does this book have an average amount? No. Probably about 5% above average and could and should have been proof-read better. But I won't let that pull me back from the 5-star rating. This book is worth every penny.
The CD-ROM exams (same as those printed in the book) are an excellent way to prepare for the exam. Use them on tutorial mode initialy as the answers are explained well.
Good luck to all of you & do yourself a favor & get this book.
 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.
