These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 72 topics.
You've read the list of federal pharmacy laws three times. You close your notes...
...and you can't remember which came first, Durham-Humphrey or Kefauver-Harris. It was just lines, one after another.
Here the federal laws are a timeline drawn on one page, from 1906 to 2013: one law per line, in the order they happened.
And on the pages next to it, every part of the law has its own page: the controlled substance schedules, Schedule II prescriptions, DEA forms, REMS and HIPAA.
First you understand why each law came after the one before. Then the order sticks on its own.
The job and the exam, medications, federal law, patient safety, order entry and processing, sterile compounding, pharmacy math, and practice with a final review: 77 pages, all illustrated
Picture this:
Instead of rereading half a page on DAW codes without being able to picture them...
...you open the page and find codes 0 to 9 in one table, each with what it means and when it's used.
And the top drugs, the DEA schedules, look-alike names, garbing and IV flow rates turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop memorizing and start understanding.
That's exactly what Pharmacy Technician Made Visual does. It's not “just another review book.” It's 7 parts and 58 illustrated topics, and at the end 20 practice questions with the answers explained and a two-page final review. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
What a pharmacy technician does and doesn't do, where techs work, the PTCE and the ExCPT, the parts of a prescription, and sig codes and risky abbreviations.
Generic names, brand names and stems, dosage forms and routes, the drug classes by body system, the top drugs brand and generic, and narrow therapeutic index drugs.
Federal law stops being a wall of text: the laws in order on one timeline, the controlled substance schedules, Schedule II and C-III to C-V rules, DEA forms, checking a DEA number, pseudoephedrine, the FDA, REMS and HIPAA.
How medication errors happen, look-alike and sound-alike names, high-alert medications, the checks that stop errors, when to call the pharmacist and how to report.
The workflow from drop-off to pick-up, order entry, reading an NDC, filling and labeling, claims and rejections, DAW codes, inventory and nonsterile compounding.
USP <797> on one page, the cleanroom suite, garbing step by step, aseptic technique, beyond-use dates and hazardous drugs under USP <800>.
Pharmacy math solved the same way every time, so you know where to start: units and conversions, ratio-proportion and dimensional analysis, doses by body weight, days' supply, percent and ratio strength, dilutions and alligation, and IV flow rates.
20 original practice questions, 5 per page, with every answer explained, and a two-page final review: the numbers to know and the drug classes at a glance.
At the end of the book: 20 practice questions with every answer explained and a two-page final review.
Original exam-style questions grouped by the four PTCE domains: Medications, Federal Requirements, Patient Safety and Quality Assurance, Order Entry and Processing. Plus a timed mock exam, with every answer explained, so you know why it is right and what to reread when you miss one. Written for this material, not official exam questions.
Flash cards of the most prescribed drugs, grouped by body system: brand name, generic name, class and main use on every card, with self-tests to check what you remember. Made to print and carry with you.

PTCB's PTCE Content Outline (effective January 6, 2026) and NHA's ExCPT exam information. The content is checked against the Controlled Substances Act and DEA regulations (21 CFR Part 1300), FDA references (Orange Book, NDC Directory, REMS, recalls, DSCSA), USP <795>, <797> and <800>, ISMP lists and The Joint Commission's “Do Not Use” list. Where state law is stricter, the page says so.
Yes. The PTCE content outline in effect since January 6, 2026 has four domains: Medications (35%), Patient Safety and Quality Assurance (23.75%), Order Entry and Processing (22.5%) and Federal Requirements (18.75%), and the book has a part for each. The current outline no longer has nonsterile compounding, alligation or narrow therapeutic index drugs as their own areas: the book keeps one page on each because they are everyday pharmacy work. The official content outline always comes first.
No. It's independent study material, not affiliated with or endorsed by PTCB, NHA or any state board of pharmacy. It doesn't give you a certificate, CE credit or exam eligibility: those come from your training program and from PTCB or NHA.
No. It's a study aid. It doesn't replace your training program, your externship, your pharmacy's procedures or the pharmacist, and it isn't medical advice. The math is solved as exam practice, not as dosing for a real patient.
No. They're original questions written for this book, in the style of the exam, to help you practice. They are not official questions from the PTCE, the ExCPT or any other exam.
Your review book explains it in text and your app asks you questions. This shows you each topic on one page: the drawing, the rule in a box and the numbers to know, always in the same layout. Use it to understand the topic first, then go back to your questions. It's a high-resolution PDF you can print and keep handy.
Yes, as many times as you want, for yourself. The drug cards are made to be printed.
You have 30 days: if a file doesn't open, if the content isn't what this page describes, if you were charged twice or the download never arrived, write to us and we'll refund you in full.
You don't have to reread the same page hoping this time it sticks.
You don't have to memorize drug names you can't picture.
And you definitely don't have to walk into the exam not knowing where to start.
There's an easier way. And it's one click away. Now it's your turn.
