Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Well, I've only 19 hours before I take my PTCB Exam. I'm a little nervous.

I've been told by many pharmacists and techs alike that I'll do fine, but I've barely studied and didn't attend any of the workshops that my job provides, had I the free time to actually attend.

If I don't pass, I think I can retake the class in the same exam window. Which is why I chose the first day of exams, plus if I pass that's a month of pay that I'll get with the subsequent raise!

I've asked around about what MIGHT be on the test, since my study books and workbooks seem to be a bit outdated in some regards. I think my biggest worry will be SPECIFICS. Like, which ACT regulates THIS law, or something mundane like that. As long as I know it's a law, I don't see why I need to remember what legislation or act made it so. I'll be sure to make a good assessment of how the exam is here in Florida for those techs looking for a little insight. I've been told there are sample scripts, and obviously conversion and mathematics, but I guess I should of taken this more seriously and done my homework. That would cut out the need to guesstimate everything, but in all honesty, I LIVE like that everyday and it makes things just a little more exciting.

Wish me luck!

The majority of my exam boils down to:

"Is this a CII?"

I kid you not.
