Summary
This comprehensive review prepares students for the pharmacy technician certification exam. It focuses largely on pharmacy mathematics which constitutes a large portion of the exam, and is generally considered the most difficult portion of the exam. In addition, the text focuses on the primary content areas covered in the exam. A unique feature of the review is a test to assess the individual's level and identify areas that require additional study. The review includes a mock certification exam for students to monitor their progress. Both tests are written in the same format as the actual certification exam, providing students with valuable practice. The text's comprehensive coverage of pharmacy practice, regulations, mathematics, pharmacology, and drug nomenclature prepares students for the certification exam. Solutions/answers to review questions and exercises are provided for immediate feedback.(pharmacy technician certification exam, pharmacy technician exam review)
