A new app for mobile devices, the PTCB Official Calculations Practice Questions App, is available for iOS and Android devices. The app features 90 calculation questions that have been asked on the actual PTCE and focuses on calculations commonly used by pharmacy technicians. In order to provide the best preparation experience, questions were selected from previous live PTCE exam questions based on a variety of calculation types, strong item performance, and similar style to the current PTCE.
Although the exact practice calculations questions are no longer on the actual PTCE, this app will help users develop a feel for the types of calculations they will encounter when they take the real PTCE, and strengthen their math skills. Test takers can take advantage of step-by-step explanations provided at the end of the practice questions to further enhance their study routine.
This official PTCB Math app has a cost of $14.99 and can be found in the Apple and Google Play stores.
