Pocket Prep PTCE 2026

I studied Mosby’s PTCE review book maybe 20 days collectively over the course of a month. In the last week of my studying I used this app as a means to self assess my studying and it was extremely helpful. It helped me get an idea of what details I had to narrow down on which were practically identical to the actual PTCB test. But understand this is best used as a SUPPLEMENT. I do not recommend this being your one and only studying material. Needless to say I passed my exam. With the use of the Mosby’s book and this app, I hadn’t encountered any questions on the exam that I didn’t have at least an IDEA on how to answer. Didn’t draw any blanks whatsoever. I was unsure of some questions but never clueless. Best of luck ! Btw I used the upgrade with 400 questions and answered 280 of them. If you’re only using the basic package, then none of what I said applies.

I was provided training through my employer and have been working in a pharmacy for 3 years. So I was familiar with most of the common drugs/etc. I was recently offered the opportunity to be a technician, so naturally I took it. I have a plethora of resources. Computer based training/flash cards/PTCB book AND an extra PTCB book made just for math. Math is my weak point. I stopped using all of that crap. This app is very helpful! My job does not deal with IV or sterile compounding. I knew nothing of hospital pharmacy. The laws of pharmacy...etc. I figured I would get this app because I’m ALWAYS on my phone. So it would be best to get something I can use anywhere. There’s 800 questions. I answered them all over and over. I had so much anxiety with my test. This app covers everything you need to know. I do recommend you getting a separate app for math if you struggle with it, and another one for drug names If you’re not familiar with them. Thankfully I work with them daily so I knew that part. I went in and finished this test with 52 minutes left to spare. To which I Just reviewed my answers and went over to questions I had flagged. Be calm. If you don’t know something, skip it and come back. The first question I got was a math one... and I was already about to puke. I skipped it. Came back. And figured the answer out later. I passed!! Just today. This will give you confidence. Because you will know 90% of the answers. The cons!!!! The app crashes and signs you out a lot! The only way I was able to use t was to open it, let it load, not touch it for a while, scroll up and down to make sure it wasn’t gonna freeze, then select quick exam. Wait again! It will try to load the question of the day. Wait and wait. It’ll prob say “cannot find questions. Refresh” just click ok. And wait some more. And then your exam will load. Gah I know. It sounds awful. I can’t tell you how many times I forced closed this app and even restarted my phone. But for the money I spent... I was gonna use it one way or another. And it has great info. I mean. I passed!!!

Worth the upgrade! A must have for anyone planning on taking the certification exam. If you or your employer are already risking $129 for you to take the PTCE, it is well worth you spending the extra $10 on this app. Suggestion to the developer. Categorize questions better in the exam builder. (i.e. “Pharmacy Math” only having questions about basic calculations, IV drip rates, formulas, metric conversions, etc.) With the categories given, it was inconvenient to sift through questions and narrow down the types I wanted to practice. Also, as someone with retail pharmacy experience I was fairly well versed on brand/generic medication names. However, there should be an entire category of its own for those who may not be as familiar.
