We had a great virtual classroom session last week! Here's a sample from Dr. Emmel's response to a student's question around dietary supplements. #PharmacyTechnician

Heads up for 2026: the PTCE adds serialization/tracing topics. Start learning now to be ready. #PharmacyTechnician #PTCB

Don’t jump the gun on DSCSA issues. Quarantine first; investigate; then decide. Reporting/destruction too early can backfire. #PharmacyTechnician #PTCE

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

A small PTCE habit that pays off: answer mentally before you view the options. Faster, fewer second guesses. #PharmacyTechnician

PTCE law math: DSCSA record on 06/01/2025 must be retained until 06/01/2031. Remember “6 years.” #PharmacyTechnician #PTCE

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

OTC ≠ DSCSA. An OTC bottle of aspirin isn’t subject to track‑and‑trace. Spot this on the PTCE. #PharmacyTechnician #PTCE

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

DSCSA vocab you must know for the PTCE: “suspect” ≠ “illegitimate.” Learn the difference and what to do next. #PharmacyTechnician #PTCE

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

Suspect product under DSCSA? First move: quarantine. Keep it out of inventory while you investigate. Learn more in this highlight from yesterday's virtual classroom. #PharmacyTechnician #CPhT

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

PTCE law fact you can bank on: DSCSA record retention is SIX years. Save it for test day. #PharmacyTechnician #CPhT

We commonly get asked about the difference between pharmacy technician certification and registration/licensure. Check out our new blog post to learn what each means: https://t.co/rLWnctbOv5

Navigating the path to becoming a pharmacy tech? Remember, national certification boosts your career but isn't a license to practice. Understand the difference and take the right steps! #PharmacyTech #CareerAdvancement

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

Benchmark smart: aim for ~70%+ on medication items before you sit the PTCE, then keep scores steady. We discussed why this works in yesterday's virtual class session.

Memorize this for PTCB math: 1 lb = 454 g. Convert first, then set up your proportion to solve. #pharmacytechnician #PTCE

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

Are you confused by the concept of ratio strength? Understanding this is key for % strength and proportions. #pharmacytechnician #pharmacymath

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

Overwhelmed by pharmacy math? Use one repeatable setup: conversions + clean proportions. It works across most PTCB items. #pharmacytechnician #PTCB

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

PTCB-recognized programs must cover all knowledge areas required of certified pharmacy technicians. However, the PTCE tests 4 domains: medications, federal requirements, patient safety/QA, order entry/processing. Focus your flashcards on those topics. #CPhT #pharmacytechnician

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

PTCB change for pharmacy techs: alligation is being removed from the PTCE content outline. You can still use is as needed, but we suggest you focus your math on proportions & conversions instead. Details in 30s. #pharmacytechnician #PTCB

[Pharmacy Tech Scholar @RPhTechScholar]

Pharmacy math gut‑check: less diluent = higher concentration. Use your intuition before the calculator to ensure you are on the right track. #Pharmacymath #PharmacyTechnician
