PTCB Math Practice Questions - Pharmacy Technician Practice Test (35 Need to Know Questions)

Build the calculation confidence that separates passers from retakes with a focused pharmacy technician math practice session designed to mirror what you’ll see on the PTCB. This review is made for pharmacy technician students, trainees, and test-takers who want to get faster, reduce careless errors, and master the exact conversion and setup skills that show up repeatedly on certification exams. In this 35-question practice test, you’ll sharpen the most tested math categories, including days’ supply from sig codes (such as drops, teaspoons, and insulin units), dosage calculations using concentrations like mg/mL, and safe unit conversions between grams, milligrams, and micrograms. You’ll also work through dilution and mixture problems using C1V1 = C2V2 and allegation, IV flow-rate calculations in gtts/min, and infusion duration problems that require converting hours to minutes and liters to milliliters. The set also reinforces compounding and formulation math such as percentage strength (w/v and w/w), ratio strength conversions, specific gravity weight calculations, and reconstitution problems that include powder volume—one of the most common “trap” details. On top of that, you’ll practice pharmacy business math like markup, dispensing fees, and inventory turnover, plus high-yield clinical math such as mEq dosing and units-per-hour calculations for medications like heparin. Use this video like a timed drill: pause before each answer, solve it on your own, then compare your method to the explanation so you learn the “why” behind the setup and avoid repeating the same mistakes. If you’re studying for the PTCB, building confidence for externship or your first pharmacy job, or you simply want a stronger foundation in pharmacy calculations, this format will help you improve accuracy and speed under pressure.
