ExCPT Exam Prep - Pharmacy Technicians Practice Test (35 Most Asked Questions)

Boost your ExCPT readiness with a realistic pharmacy technician practice test built to sharpen the exact skills employers and certification exams expect. This walkthrough is for NHA ExCPT test-takers, pharmacy technician students, and entry-level techs who want to strengthen accuracy in calculations, prescription processing, law and compliance, and patient-safety decision making through high-frequency exam-style questions and clear explanations. In this video, you’ll work through 35 most-asked questions that reinforce core pharmacy fundamentals, including how to validate a prescriber’s DEA registration number, interpret common SIG codes and abbreviations, calculate day supply correctly, and understand what’s legally required on non-controlled prescriptions versus controlled substances. You’ll also review key controlled-substance rules such as Schedule II refill restrictions, proper use of DEA Form 222, and how to handle “Dispense as Written” indicators and DAW codes in real workflow scenarios. You’ll practice the math that consistently appears on the ExCPT, including liquid dosing, percent strength calculations, IV drip rate conversions using drop factors, and compounding concentration problems that require alligation. Beyond calculations, this set strengthens medication safety and quality topics like Tall Man lettering for look-alike/sound-alike drugs, high-alert medications and independent double-checks, proper refrigerator storage requirements, and what to do immediately when a potential dispensing error is identified before a medication reaches the patient. To help you score higher and work safer, you’ll also cover pharmacy operations and compliance essentials: HIPAA privacy decisions when callers request patient information, inventory methods such as FIFO and PAR levels, transitions-of-care medication reconciliation, and major standards like USP 797 beyond-use dating guidance, USP hazardous drug handling expectations, and the purpose of REMS programs for high-risk medications. If you’re studying for the NHA ExCPT exam, use this as a timed mock test first, then rewatch for the explanations and retake it until you’re consistently confident.
