Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fast shipment, No hassle seller
Very good seller to deal with. Can't say enough good things, will buy again in the future


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great for study
This book is intense, it is a great study guide, however, doesn't go into a great deal of detail in teaching. The CD that comes with it is also helpful in studying. I really like it and am glad that I bought it.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Keep looking!

Lots of filler, as an instructor, not a book I would choose for my students

Many of my students who used this book reported similar and identical questions ON the PTCE.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mosby's Review for the PTCB

If you need to learn the information I'd buy two books written by Mark Johnston which are The Exam Review and Pharmacy Calculations. They actually teach step by step. There also were several erros in this book. They did a very poor job of proof reading. ... Read More
