PTCB Math Questions - Pharmacy Technician Practice Test & Review (30 Challenging Questions)

Master the calculations and core pharmacy concepts that most often decide a pass or fail on the PTCB by working through a focused set of challenging practice questions with clear, step-by-step explanations. This video is designed for PTCB candidates, pharmacy technician students, and entry-level techs who want to build speed, accuracy, and confidence in the exact math and judgment calls you’ll face on exam day. You’ll review high-yield pharmacy math skills such as interpreting liquid dosing directions, using common conversions like teaspoons to milliliters, calculating days’ supply from tablet quantities, and solving percentage strength problems used in compounding scenarios. The questions also reinforce beyond-use dating logic for compounded preparations and practical storage standards like proper refrigerated temperature ranges that protect medication stability. Because the PTCB tests more than calculations alone, this practice set also strengthens the supporting knowledge that helps you avoid real-world dispensing errors. You’ll revisit controlled substance rules and refill limits, common SIG codes and abbreviations, HIPAA and what qualifies as protected health information, and safety concepts like Tall Man lettering for look-alike/sound-alike drugs. You’ll also see common medication knowledge check-ins, including drug classes, brand–generic recognition, key adverse effects, and high-impact counseling points such as why extended-release tablets should not be crushed. Use this as a timed mini mock exam first, then rewatch for the explanations and retake it until the calculations and safety rules feel automatic.
