### 5/5 — I recommend for all Pharmacy Tech Trainees

*2024-09-17*

Even though I went to a 6 month training course for pharmacy technicians, this app was the kicker that ensured I passed my Board certification on the first try. I used the free version until I was ready to take my test, then I purchased the complete study guide. I did all practice tests until I didn’t miss any questions in that given unit, then I shut that chapter down - did not take those tests anymore. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

### 5/5 — Pharmacy Tech great information

*2024-03-13*

AWESOME

### 2/5 — Not Very Many Questions

*2023-01-27*

Expected more question database

### 5/5 — PTCB

*2021-11-15*

Getting ready for exam

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-04-11*

Awful just awful maybe helpful if you want to fail.

### 1/5 — Waste of $3.99

*2020-11-07*

Don’t buy the app it’s the exact same questions as the free version

### 1/5 — Wrong answers

*2019-01-16*

This app gives you different answers for the same question depending on the test. It will just confuse you more

### 1/5 — Not impressed.

*2017-08-19*

It's the same questions that is on the website. No use in paying for the test when it's online with a simple google search.

### 3/5 — It's good but just good

*2017-08-06*

It's a good practice test for the $3, but that's all you get is one test. There are others out there with better deals.

### 1/5 — Don't waist your money and time studying this book

*2017-07-26*

I study from this app and a book for my PTCB test preparation and I fail the test ... I spend many hours studying from this app...  none of the questions from this app where in the test..
