I Passed The PTCB but...
355893
Honestly, I bought the book not knowing weather or not it would help me pass the PTCB but I took the gamble anyways. In the end I passed the test in 1/23/2016. I studied for about a month and 1/2 with only this book. I recommend getting a small side math book because the math portion didn't explain very thoroughly (or at least in detail). Also, you should research about hospital settings because I had alot more of those on the PTCB that wasn't much covered in the book. So the big question is: "Will this book help me pass?" IMO Yes, because I only used this book to study and I passed the PTCB. Just make sure to do more research on the math and hospital settings and you will be good. I would say this book covered about 75%-80% of the questions I had on my PTCB. Just in case you go YOLO and use ONLY this book to study (like what I did), then i suggest you study completely everything in the book and do the practice test provided at the end. Anyone who says this book won't make you pass is a probably lying or didn't study much at all. In conclusion, this book has enough info to make you pass and I actually recommend it. I'm a CPhT now!

I took my exam today and pass. Really recommend this book to those who sellf-study like me. This book has all the information needed for the PTCE. Also You can buy a pharmacy technician textbook to read more in detail. You will pass with flying color

buy any other guide, the practice test had a lot of questions that were not covered in the study part. Is it helpful? yes to a point.

I purchased this practice test because I have exhausted all of my other sources and in need of a retake of the MCAT. I have completed EK101, all the passages in TPRHL Verbal workbook and all the passages offered through AAMC and my Kaplan course. At first I was hesitant to purchase any products from a company I have never heard of, but I took a risk because it's so cheap. After doing T1-T3 I have to say that these CARS passages are very hard compared to AAMC, Kaplan, EK101 and TPRHL VW. They are of the same length of AAMC practice passages, but appear to be shorter than the passages I took on the actual MCAT. I scored a 129 in CARS and after taking these practice test in preparation for a retake, it showed me that CARS was still my weak area. After taking T3 I decided to follow their 30 Day Guide to CARS Success and it has helped me so much. I feel much more confident and wish I knew about Testing Solutions before my initial MCAT attempt.

I purchased this from amazon about 2 months before my test.  I read though it once without highlighting.  I then read though it again, highlighting relevant sections.  After that I took a few practice tests online (I recommend examstudy) and then the weekend before the test, skimmed through the highlighted sections and re-highlighted key points and completed the practice questions included.

The end result was that I passed relatively easily.  Focus on the type of questions in the book...

To pass this exam you will probably only need to go over all U-World qbank. First-aid may help if you feel insecure. I read it front to back, but in hindsight I don't think it was worth it or that it contributed in any significant score to final performance ... 99/235.

This book did provide sufficient material to study for the PTCB, but it is not as thorough as I would like it to be. I recommend looking at other PTCB prep websites.

Passed with a 62!

Surely didn't cover everything on the exam, but definitely more than enough to pass given a couple days of cramming.

I studied for about a week, give or take 2-3 hours each day.

I really can't compare to any other study resources since this is the only one I used. Good luck to future exam takers out there!

There were some wrong answers..
Except that, It's fine.
I'm a foreigner, so it 's very helpful to recognize what kind of questions are in MTTC.
I just studied only two books (this one and Test 1 ) , and the elementary textbooks(math) to know some math- words..
for 3 wks.
Finally I passed last week :) !!
Actually The real test was a little bit easier than the problems in these 2 books, I think...
Good luck guys ... !!

... the questions at the end of each chapter were not very useful. Most of the cert guides I've used had questions that closely resembled (or at least tried to resemble) those found on the actual tests. The questions in this book were not multiple choice for example. Regardless, I still highly recommend the book - it's not overly long and from what I can tell, covers the material well.

There is no reason you shouldn't pass the NCLEX PN if you read this book from front to back. I passed with 85 Qs :-) Unfortunately because of limited time, I was only able to read the first 33 chapters. For the last 2 weeks before my exam, I just did the online questions. This helped because the rationales are very detailed. You get a mini lesson in each question. To save a lot of stress, I recommend reading this while in nursing school because the detailed content review will help on the exams in nursing school as well. I wish I had used this book to study for my exams in nursing school, would've saved a lot of time and stress. It would also cut down on study time after you graduate so you can take the exam quickly. Also, doing as many practice Qs as possible will also help. Good luck!

if you want to pass then buy this book. I've been a pharmacy tech for 4 years and i decided to buy it and study for 5 days for my ptcb and passed only using this book and random online practice tests!

While I passed, I actually did worse on the GMAT than I did on the practice tests provided by Kaplan. The quantitative section especially was different on the actual exam than the practice questions I did with Kaplan.

You get ten LSATs to work with, which is crucial before taking the one on which you will be graded. Interestingly, I found these questions to be a bit more challenging than the one offered in my guide book, even though my guide book used official questions.
Perhaps because I was under time constraints when taking the practice tests.

I spent weeks studying from this book and taking all the practice tests.  However, when I took the exam today I was surprised that the content of the exam was not adequately covered in this review manual! I feel like much of the time that I put in was wasted since I was focusing on the wrong material.

Another oddity is that the book is primarily organized alphabetically. Each individual chapter is clear and well-organized.  However, organizing the chapters alphabetically instead of by body system is somewhat illogical....while it does alleviates boredom to skip from "tendinitis" to "testicular masses" to "thyroid disease," it would make more sense in relating different diseases to one another to group them by body system.

Utilizing the CD ROM to take the practice tests was very helpful, but I was disappointed that so many of the practice tests contain the same questions.  So while it initially appears that there are many practice tests to utilize, it is really the same questions being repeated in different tests.  Had I not been getting so close the deadline  of my scheduled test date I would have purchased additional review questions from another author.

I did not examine any other FNP Certification review guides so I do not have any basis of comparison, but overall I feel disappointed that the content of this book did not make me feel adequately prepared for my exam today.

My husband picked up this book for me to study for my C1 Service Writer certification.  I studying the entire book and did very well on the test at the end of the book.  I felt extremely confidence going in to take the certification test.  Had the items I studied been on the actual test I would have passed with flying colors.  However, maybe 25% of the questions on the test were items studied in this book!  There HAS to be another book out there!  Needless to say, I did not pass the test and this book did NOT help.
