Read the order. Catch the error.
Medications, federal law, patient safety and the arithmetic of order entry — at technician scope, with the pharmacist’s check left where it belongs.
Rx: metformin 500 mg, dispense #180 tablets. The patient takes 2 tablet(s) 2 times daily. What is the days supply?
Days supply = total quantity / amount per day = 180 / (2×2) = 180/4 = 45 days. B (45 days) is correct. A (90 days) ignores dosing frequency and divides only by tablets per dose. C (720 days) multiplies instead of dividing quantity by daily use. D (180 days) assumes one tablet is taken per day.

The outline, as a fill tray.
The PTCE is 90 questions in 1 hour 50 minutes across four domains, weighted as PTCB weights them. Every question here carries its domain, so you see which bin is short.
Medications
Generic and brand names, classes, indications, side effects, dosage forms, storage and the drugs with special handling.
Federal Requirements
The Controlled Substances Act and DEA forms, recalls, REMS, the CMEA, the DSCSA, HIPAA, and the USP compounding chapters.
Patient Safety & Quality Assurance
High-alert and look-alike/sound-alike drugs, error-prone abbreviations, error reporting and the checks that prevent them.
Order Entry & Processing
Sig codes, days’ supply, conversions, concentrations, dilutions and alligation, NDC and DAW codes, billing and inventory.
Five things built for the fill station.
Every plan opens everything. These are the five that matter most for this exam.
Twelve full-length papers of 90
The real PTCE is 90 questions — 80 scored, 10 unscored — in 1 hour 50 minutes. Every paper here is that shape: a Diagnostic, an On-level, a Gauntlet harder than the real exam, and two practice exams. 1,477 original questions in all, counted once.
Every wrong answer gets its reason
Why the right answer is right, and why each wrong one fails — the line you would want if you had picked it. Calculations are worked step by step.
A technician prepares a warfarin prescription for a first-time patient. Which auxiliary step best supports safety for this high-alert anticoagulant at the point of dispensing?
Warfarin patients need reminders about bleeding risk and INR monitoring; auxiliary labeling and counseling referral support safe use of this high-alert drug. Expiration dates must remain on the label; removing them is unsafe and improper. Doubling warfarin doses is dangerous and is not appropriate technician advice. Warfarin requires regular INR monitoring; stating otherwise is incorrect and unsafe.

Before you start
Does the course cover calculations?
Yes — days’ supply, quantities, conversions, concentrations, dilutions and alligation, IV rates and business math, each worked step by step in the Order Entry lecture and throughout the forms.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Every item is original, written to the public content outline and checked blind by a second AI model that never sees the key. Nothing is copied from a published form, and we are not affiliated with any examining board.
