Good Enough for the Exam and nice list of drugs September 29, 2009
K. Cheung
First off, I passed the exam from studying this book. It certainly prepared me far beyond what the test required, so that's good. It also has a list of vitamins, drugs (by generic and brand), and a list of suffixes relevant to the type of treatment a drug is for.
Only problem is the organization of this book. It's unorganized. The topics are all over the place and many things are repeated over and over again. Very distracting and confusing in plenty of places, so watch out!
Get this book if you want something cheap and gives a good summary of what the exam expects. Oh ya, the CD is definitely the most valuable part of this book. The flashcard are great and the practice exam gives a pretty good feel of what the real exam looks like.
Pretty Good Review Book September 16, 2009
A. Aquilato
It was pretty straightforward, although I did notice a few spelling errors in the names of some drugs and some problems with the answers to the practice exams (like it would say b-microscope, and then in the back of the book it would say c-microscope). The organization of the book was clear and the info on the laws and pharmacy practices were good. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely worth the price.

I ordered this book for my 18 year old son who is a chemistry major with an interest in becoming a pharmacist. I am a registered nurse,who has been tutoring my son with what I thought would be the necessary info to pass the exam. Oh boy, am I happy I got this book. It really covers every aspect of pharmacy tech knowledge and responsibility. You won't be disappointed. Just go through it cover to be cover and you should be able to do well on the exam.
good book if you have strong base January 19, 2009
