 Rating:  - Excellent help!!!This book is by far the best thing that I have yet to find to help prepare myself for the exam. I have not taken the exam yet, but I have all confidence that I will pass the exam with the help of this book. This book is very detailed, doesn't repeatedly review the same things and is definitely money well spent. I am sure that even in the future, I will still rely on this book. It has been a great help so far. Rating: - After studying with only this book, and after being a tech for only 5 months, I passed the PTCE!I've only been a registered technician for five months, and my only training was received from on-the-job experience. Changes in state laws require that techs become certified by the end of 2010, so I decided to take the PTCE this summer, even though I had limited experience. I was really nervous! The only studying materials I bought consisted of just this book, "Concise Review for the PTCB Exam", and the knowledge I had from my job. I passed the exam recently with no problem after studying this ... Read More Rating:  - A Good BeginningThis review is a good place to start, however it's far from complete. If you're starting from scratch then it's worth buying. However if you have any medical background training, then you probably know most of it already. All in all, it's an "ok" buy Rating: - I would definately recommend this product for the Florida ExamThis book has a wonderful math section- everything you need to know about calculations and business math. Excellent explaination on each drug/ category of drug/use of drug/warning on drug/ interactions, etc. There's a great common law section as well. I briefly studied with this book (about 3 weeks not everyday but on and off) and I still passed the exam (but I've also been working as a pharmacy tech for 5 years now). Suggestion: Study, study, study the math section!!! Make sure you know everything ...
