About this app

Study for the PTCB Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE) at a pharmacy bench. Work your queue, fill your scored sets, and practice the check that catches errors: compare the prescription with the label, then flag what's wrong or clear it.

LABEL CHECK
Each case puts a mock prescription next to a filled label, and sometimes a stock bottle. Patient name, date of birth, look-alike drug, strength, form, sig, quantity, refills, NDC, expiration or storage: tap the line that's wrong, or clear the label if everything matches. Some labels are right, so read before you flag. Each result explains the call. Ten categories cover patient match, look-alike names, strength, form and route, sig translation, quantity, controlled limits, stock and NDC, stability and storage, and labels that look off but aren't.

BENCH MATH (FREE)
Exam-practice math, always free: days' supply for solids, liquids and insulin, dilution with C1V1 = C2V2, and IV flow in mL per hour and drops per minute. An alligation calculator is included too, marked as no longer on the 2026 outline. Each result shows its working. For exam practice only, not for patient care.

YOUR RX QUEUE
Home is a prescription queue with a fill lane and a verify lane. It tells you what to do next: run a scored set, work your weak domain, re-work missed questions, flip today's flashcards, or take today's label check. Four amber vials fill as you get more of each domain right, and a countdown runs to your exam date.
