Course Description
Becoming a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) is a career-defining milestone, but the PTCB exam is notorious for its challenging math and vast pharmacological requirements. I created this course because I saw a need for a "stress-test" environment that actually prepares you for the pressure of the real exam. With 1,500 practice questions, I provide the volume and variety you need to move beyond simple memorization and into true mastery.
In this question bank, I don't just give you the answer. For every single question, I provide a detailed breakdown of all six options—explaining exactly why the correct answer is right and, more importantly, why the others are common pitfalls. Whether you are struggling with Allegation calculations, DEA form numbers, or the Top 200 Drugs, this course is designed to ensure you pass on your very first attempt.
Practice Question Previews
Question 1: Pharmacy Calculations A prescription calls for 150ml of a 20% solution. The pharmacy only has a 50% solution and a 5% solution in stock. Using the allegation method, how many milliliters of the 5% solution are needed?
Options:
A) 50 ml

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
A, C, D, E, F) Incorrect: These results stem from miscalculating the parts-to-volume ratio or flipping the high/low concentration values.
B) Correct: Using the allegation tic-tac-toe: (50-20=30 parts of 5%) and (20-5=15 parts of 50%). Total parts = 45. (30/45) * 150ml = 100ml.
