Free ExCPT Practice Test

The New Ptce Content & Format


The pharmacy technician certification board exam consists of 90 questions, 10 of which are experimental questions that won't count towards your score. You'll have 110 minutes to complete the test. However, when you're doing practice exams, we suggest that you give yourself a little less time per question than on the real exam because many pharmacy technician students are nervous during the real exam so they don't test well even if they know their material. From our over 15 years of experience teaching pharmacy tech students, we've found that the best way to deal with exam nervousness is to prepare students with practice exams that are a little bit harder than the actual exam by giving students only one minute per question and by making the test questions a little harder. You might be surprised to find that after studying with us, you'll feel that the actual exam is quite easy.

New Practice ExCPT Exam


This practice Ptce is not long enough to predict what score you will make on the actual ExCPT exam. However, it does have a big enough statistical sample of questions to predict if you're going to pass the ExCPT test. If you make a perfect score, then you'll probably pass the ExCPT exam. Therefore, you'll only need a short refresher course and buy one book or online self-study course to prepare for the ExCPT exam. Otherwise, we suggest that you take a live course taught by a pharmacist for all your classes. This following pharmacy practice exam has question(s) in every one of the nine "Knowledge Domains" of the new ExCPT test.
