I HAVE FINALLY CREATED A BINDER WITH MY PTCB STUDY NOTES AS REQUESTED FROM WHEN I PASSED THE EXAM!! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING, CHECK OUT MY ETSY PROFILE FOR DETAILS! THANK YOU GUYS :)
PSA: this was recorded a while back after i passed my exam. it is not about the new 2020 exam because i did not take that one!
They say third times a charm, am officially passed my PTCB 🎉🎉🎈 for all my repeat test takers don't give up and don't be discouraged
I failed 3 times, i lost money to scams and reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
@@tomswilliamson9395 Sorry about your plight my friend but i was once in your shoes before i was recommended to Mr James William and that's how i passed PTCB
Well I've taken the exam for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it.
I'm a living testimony of MR JAMES, he has helped me achieve my dream of becoming a licienced nurse, i encourage those who find it difficult to pass the PTCB exams to work him and thank me later
I had interest in working with him in the first past but i was discourage by friends and family, i was being ignorant though
I took my exam today and got a preliminary pass! I used several of your videos to study and was so in awe at how "easy" it seemed. Don't get me wrong I guessed at some 🤣 BUT a pass is a pass. Breathe guys! Every test is different so study broad but also hone in on your struggles and you'd be surprised at how easily the questions come to you! I used about an hour of my time and I was a nervous wreck. Here's to everyone taking it soon! Listen to her⬆️⬆️
Congrats Makayla!! that's amazing, good luck on your journey being a pharmacy tech! im glad my videos were able to help you and if you need anything else let me know!
@@KeanaConyers hey can you do a video on your notes to pass or show me 😭
thank you! i took my test today and passed the first time. i followed the tips in your other videos, it really helped me a lot.
you’re welcome! congratulations that is so amazing! i’m so happy that i was able to help you on your journey ❤️
Girl yessss! Please make the study video. I have to take the PTCB by June 30th and currently studying my ass off!! I also have the same book. You’re awesome congrats! ❤️
I am going to try to get a video up for monday or tomorrow night, only thing is i can only say so much because when you take your PTCB your agreeing that you won’t be sharing what’s on test like any questions u got or help others study for it. thankfully my test isn’t available anymore since i took last years but i just have to be very careful when making the video!
thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!watching your videos truly helped!!! 💜💜💜🙏
im taking mine in 2 days, this made me feel a lot better thank you!
hiii!! good luck if you haven’t taken it already!! hoping for the best for u!
It was definitely a challenged exam, I couldn't believe it! I am so happy I am finally certified!!!
CONGRATS GIRL!!!🎊🎊🎊 that’s awesome! congratulations
This vid is so helpful thanks !
Study , top 200, fed and regulation, compounding and pharm calculation , Know the rems program and high alert drug read the question carefully , eliminate the answers
I just finished my PharmTech course and literally just scheduled my exam with PTCB for 2/2024. After watching this video I no longer feel nervous about my upcoming exams. Thanks so much for this video.
Best of luck! You got this
Thank you! This was helpful.
i’m glad i could help ❤️❤️❤️
Great info! Thanks for helping ! ✔️💡
of course ❤️
Congratulations!!
thank you! ❤️
I got a preliminary pass today I’ve been watching ur videos before my test thank you !!
All the best💙
yes to study video!!!! new subbie ❤️
i will make one within the week, stay tuned and thanks for subscribing ❤️
how long did it take you to prepare for the exam thanks?
did you do the official practice questions from PTCB.
ALSO did you use any online programs?
many thanks
If you study 6 months prior to this exam you WILL pass but this test is not hard , do as many PRACTICE TESTS AS POSSIBLE because you will see repetitive question. I took my exam July 14th and passed still waiting on my score :)
yes!!! 6 months is PLENTY of time, i did it in a few weeks. Congrats Krystal!!!!♥️♥️
How long after you take your test do they notify you that you passed? I know that the actual score takes time to receive, but what about the pass/fail result?
After you click end test , it tells you immediately on the screen if you “preliminarily pass or fail “ so you will know how you did without receiving the official score
@@krystalmitchell8390 thank you so much for replying back! :) I'm currently studying for the exam and want to pass on the first try!
I will take my PTCE exam in about 3 weeks!
What's funny is I took my GED at a Pearson VUE center, and I wanted to be a teacher and in FL I needed to take the FTCEs (Florida Teacher Certification Examination) and that too is at a pearson vue center, and I couldn't even be a teacher's aide because that requires a degree. But I had another love: drugs. So basically I'll now take the PTCE at a pearson vue center.
I'll probably confuse everyone because I spent $730 on teaching exams (Professional Education, English 6-12 Exam, Latin K-12 Exam, Reading Endorsement Exam, Teacher's General Knowledge Exam, plus retakes= ~$730) just to leave it and be a pharmacy technician. Anyway people who read this 1) There's always more to enjoy in working than hate. You'll always find many things to do in life. 2) Respect your teachers. Nationwide in the US you need a bachelor's and spend hundreds extra on exams to be a teacher; so if you're going to school make the teacher feel like it was worth it because they sacrificed a lot in the hope of helping people.
(also, the survey you did at the end is the same they make for people who finished the FTCE... and when I took my GED tests because that was pearson, too)
How to apply for a PTCB-Recognized Education/Training Program?
This test is going to change my life. im so nervous but im ready
Hi, what was the preliminary reasult for your test??
💗yasss i love this content
THANK YOUUU ❤️❤️❤️
Keana Conyers welcome hunn💗
Do the State will ask for the school certification or whit the book and online curse will be enough?
Is the preliminary Score an official results??
Thanks 4 posting
No problem
Love you videos ! I’m in the pharmacy tech program now , I’m half way through and then I get to start the extern which I’m nervous about !!
thank you!! how do you like it so far?! don’t be nervous! i’m sure you’ll do great, it’s so much fun & once ur in the swing of things it’s not bad
I would LOOVE a study tip video from you 🤗
i’ve been sooo busy! i’m trying to record one today for you guys! stay tuned 🤩
How did you prepared? Because I am going to appear, is test centers open these days
the preliminary score is an official results and final results?
just study like your life depends on it. that's what i did and i passed on my first and only attempt. I didn't attend school, use past papers, or use any study guide .
Yesss, please make the other videos for tips😭😭
i can do that! what kind of other information would you like to know about?
Please do make a separate video! I am trying to get my certificate but I’m so nervous 😬
hi!! i’ve been so busy, i’m gonna try to get a video up this weekend for you guys😀
don’t be nervous!!! you’ll do fine!
I am so nervous too. And this is why I have not taken the exam yet.
Thank you so much for your information, do you have a recommendation test book?
you’re welcome! i used the yellow mosbys book! and some online sites as well that helped a lot
Did you take the test without going through a course? Or did you strictly use your otj training?
i did not do a course! just on the job training at cvs and worked there for over 500 hours so was able to take the exam
Great video. How long did it to get your official results. How many weeks?
it was about 2 weeks!
We supposed to know all this medical terminology but get paid minimum wage 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Thank you for your videos BTW You're Awesome 💕💕👍🏾👍🏾
depending on what state you live in, it shouldn’t be minimum wage though... where are you from if you don’t mind me asking? thank you ❤️
Thank u for sharing and congrats! 🎉 my turn soon!! Freaking out!!
How long did it take before your results were posted on the ptcb website? And did you receive an email confirming you passed or did you find out on the website? Thanks 😊
i believe it took about 2 weeks! i believe i did receive an email but i honestly just kept checking dsily 😂
Do you have to remember the conversions by heart?
yes you do! that’s why i wrote on a little card and looked at it until i had to lock my stuff up before testing lol 😂
So if the computer screen don’t say pass do that mean you failed ? Because mine didn’t say anything .? 😬
Mines didn’t say anything the lady said I would get my result in 2 business days on the NHA website
i’m not too sure i thought if you pass or fail it’ll say it right away unless they updated stuff during covid then that might not be the case anymore. i would give them a call
Did you need to have all the abbreviations memorized also
yes
I just took mine today and got a preliminary pass. But now I’m nervous because it’s saying I have to wait 2-3 weeks for results. Why do they tell you that you passed but then tell you it’s not official?
yes! that means pass for the most part. i heard the only time they take that back is if they found out u were cheating some how! congratulations
How long does it take until you can take the exam? How long did it take you to study?
For my company specifically they would pay it for u after 6 months of working there. I studied for a solid 2 weeks i would say
I took a week off to study and took the test.
When it says preliminary result:pass , does that mean that you did actually pass it ?
yes bassicly, the only time that would change is if they found out u cheated or something
Thanks I took mine yesterday and received preliminary pass
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🎊🍾
I just passed mine today!!! YAYAYYYAYYAYAYAYAYAY
Is it possible for a preliminary pass to turn into a fail?
I'd be pissed!!!
CONGRATTTTTTSSS! and no not unless they found out you were cheating then it would be changed! that’s awesome!! the next chapter of ur life❤️
Iam taking mine next week but not sure what to study
Am willing on getting into the pharmacy technician career, is it necessary to take classes or would just studying through book would be good enough help to get through the exam? Thanks for the info and the video 🙂
Get a book off amazon and study
And if you in a tech in training program that would be good too
@@donaldforbes4297 The pharmacist tech book on Amazon?
@@1kDomo yup
@@donaldforbes4297 unfortunately you need 500hrs in pharmacist job or complete a recognized pharmacy training program prior to taking the PTCB
@@1kDomo yes that’s what I was told but when signing up for the exam they didn’t ask me if I completed those hours
I think that 500 hrs applies to you only if you are taking the exam through your pharmacy that you are working
Can you share what formulas you used for your exam?
like all the formulas you need to know? or the ones i memorized that kinda helped me get through most things
Yes study video 😭😭
i’m gonna try to get one up this weekend for you guys! 😀
Did you take college classes for this test or did you challenge it?
no i didn’t take any classes for this
Do you have state PTCE license or ExCPT national license?
i have a state one cause u have to have a state one then i have my national one
@@KeanaConyers Here in the State of Virginia you could get either or check with ptcb you should be able to take national as long as you pass once u pass u no longer have to take it again just get recertification.
In what state did you take the exam?
CT!
do pharm technicians also have to take ospe??
no just ptcb
This was very helpful! A study tip video would be great!
I will be posting one within the week!!
i just passed!!! finished testing an hour ago, im so excited!! XD
CONGRATULATIONS!! This is awesome!!!
Hey, I did take the exam today and it said My preliminary results pass! I hope they r not going to change their mind 😒
congrats!!!!’ thats amazing! usually they only change it if they were to find out that u cheated or something. it’s almost 99% chance of a pass!
@@KeanaConyers thank you
I PASSED
CONGRATS TRINITY 🎊🎉🥰
I wish NAPLEX allowed you to flag and go back and forth on questions😩
So we should know the drug classifications, brand, generic, and interactions per each drug?
technically speaking yes
Yes please make video of your notes with EVERYTHING you needed to pass exam.. Mines coming up
So everything you’ll need to know to pass the exam is actually on the PTCB website! they have a blueprint of each thing you’ll need to know!
How can I request hand calculator for this exam? Please let me know thxxxx
i believe you have to have a written accommodation from like a doctor! call your testing center and ask
@@KeanaConyers Thank Youuu
I took my exam 3 days ago I failed on the math any suggestions
Follow me! I love 💗 tutoring students!
Hi! i actually will be posting a video tonight or tomorrow with amazing study materials that will helo you pass! i’m super excited to share them with you guys so stay tuned!

Did you take it on ptcb.org?
i took it at a ptcb test center
Was the test multiple choice?
yes it is!
The test was so easy
Do the ptcb provide the score sheet after the exam?
yes they do!
@@KeanaConyers I didnt get mine yet it’s been 3 weeks.

P.S How you took your test is EXACTLY how I took mine 🤣

I take mine at the end of this month too, I am so nervous 😭
Dianna Garcia I know and I’m so bad at math🙃..I need help😂
shelby keeton That is exactly what I am having trouble on!
shelby keeton honestly, there wasn’t too much math on mine but everyone’s is different. i was most nervous about math too cause i was doing terrible i was convinced i would fail cause of how bad i was at the math lol
Link to the study material?
link is in the description!
Test is NOT HARD just know your rx know generic/brand names, math, laws order entry
so u didn't take a course?
no i did not, i took the PTCB BEFORE they changed the rules to that
My test is literally next week and I’m so nervous

Please can you do another video
hi! yes i can, what kind of video? what information would u like in it
i just passed mine omg
hey, pls do make a video!!!!
i will be making one within the week! stay tuned 🥳
@@KeanaConyers It is really hard to memorize these drugs,formulas and others. I lose motivation after a while. what is your tips?
did you take your exam during the corona virus? I see that your able to take it online now!!?
mirocha I just paid for the test last night I’m gonna pick a date to test buttt I’m not studying 200 drugs I’m currently taking pharmacology and dosage calculations in nursing school I can’t and won’t be able to sit here and memorize 200 drugs so im gonna get the practice questions on the PTCB website. I’m currently a registered tech for Florida but I want to be nationally certified
I took mine over the Corona virus. There was an option to do it online, however I don't know exactly how that works. I ended up taking mine at a testing center that was still open
Nikkole Guyer since I’m gonna take it online they would just have ur webcam and microphone on , what did you use to study?
Okay so I’m doing this course to get credit in order to take it.. Rxtech.. seems a little wonky but whatever, I needed the accreditation. I’m a STEM student so I have prior knowledge and experience in my academic career with chemistry and human anatomy/physiology so I don’t see the point in a thousand dollar program but YA’LL the drug part! Ha! It’s a lot.. also, for this new exam.. PTCB put out a list of what the test is composed mainly of and it’s 40% of drugs. Apparently taking it online (COVID exception) we will have a live proctor. Webcam and Mic on. Not sure how that will work for the conversions part where we need to write and calculate! I’ll be taking it in 2 weeks so if I’m before any of you I’ll let you know.
Nikkole Guyer How was it?? 😫
Hey dear how can I contact with u. I m watching ur videos.
hi! i have an instagram: keanaconyers or you could email me: keana.conyers@gmail.com
@@KeanaConyers
I m taking ptcb exam so before this what’s the requirement. Or not no need of any certification diploma or PTCE exam.
@@KeanaConyers
Is this important to pass the PTCE exam before taking ptcb exam.
