Pocket Prep PTCE 2026 Reviews

This is a good app to study....if it actually worked consistently. Two problems that I’m having (iPhone 6):

1) With exam builder, the screen where areas to study are selected is completely blank (just a white screen) except for the green “next” button at the bottom. When pressed, it tells me I cannot proceed because no areas of study is selected. Yet I can’t do that as no matter what I do the study selection screen remains empty.

2) It always has trouble finding questions and gives me an error message instead. I hit refresh, it tries for 10-20 seconds and gives me the same message. Over and over. So even if I can get the study areas to be there, then the questions won’t load on the next step after selecting how many there will be.

I’ve read from the developers that deleting and redownloading will help rectify these problems as they weren’t expecting people to continually do the same questions over and over (or something to that degree) and they’re working on a fix. That may be, but I’ve tried these solutions to no avail. As it stands, PocketPrepPTCE2026 that I’ve paid for is totally useless. Even if it sometimes works (by far most of the time it doesn’t) it’s just not worth the frustration to meddle with it to get things working properly.

Please fix this, devs!

Would have given 5 stars as this is excellent prep for the PTCE. However when I bought the $15 version it only unlocks it on my IPads (I have two & it works on both). However my iPhone doesn’t recognize that I already purchased one of the premium versions. Are really expected to pay twice for the same questions just so we can use it on two types of devices? So many other apps out there only charge you once. This should be especially true for an app that you’re only going use until you pass the exam it prepares you for. Just saying...

Let me start off by saying that I've been working as a state-certified tech in retail for 4 years, so I do have a lot of on-the-job training. However, there was a LOT included in the PTCB blueprint that I didn't know (compounding, laws, even some drug names). I studied during all of my free time for only 2 weeks and passed the exam. PocketPrepPTCE2026 helped so much.

I purchased the full version with all 800 questions and it was absolutely worth it. My favorite part was I could use it on my phone, where I spend a lot of time doing mindless things like browsing Facebook, several times a day. Instead, I took a quiz on PocketPrepPTCE2026. Many quizzes multiple times a day. I'm the beginning, I got a lot of them wrong. But the Exam Readiness feature helped me focus on my weak spots.

Even if you do well with PocketPrepPTCE2026, I would strongly recommend using other resources. I also used Mosby's Third Edition, a review book, and learning modules provided by my company. I did not think I would pass the first try because I had to remember a lot of content in a short amount of time. But I did end up passing and I think it had a lot to do with PocketPrepPTCE2026. I used it when I woke up, during breakfast, while I waited for the bus, on my lunch break, before bed, and so on. I learn best with visual cues and repetition.

With all this being said, PocketPrepPTCE2026 quickly became glitchy, especially with the more questions I got right. It would freeze often, especially right before a test. And it would think I didn't purchase the full version frequently. So while I think the content is great, glitches definitely need to be worked out.

Overall, I recommend it fully for all my fellow techs out there. Best of luck!

I was provided training through my employer and have been working in a pharmacy for 3 years. So I was familiar with most of the common drugs/etc. I was recently offered the opportunity to be a technician, so naturally I took it.
I have a plethora of resources. Computer based training/flash cards/PTCB book AND an extra PTCB book made just for math. Math is my weak point. I stopped using all of that crap.
PocketPrepPTCE2026 is very helpful! My job does not deal with IV or sterile compounding. I knew nothing of hospital pharmacy. The laws of pharmacy...etc. I figured I would get PocketPrepPTCE2026 because I’m ALWAYS on my phone. So it would be best to get something I can use anywhere. There’s 800 questions. I answered them all over and over. I had so much anxiety with my test. PocketPrepPTCE2026 covers everything you need to know. I do recommend you getting a separate app for math if you struggle with it, and another one for drug names If you’re not familiar with them. Thankfully I work with them daily so I knew that part. I went in and finished this test with 52 minutes left to spare. To which I Just reviewed my answers and went over to questions I had flagged. Be calm. If you don’t know something, skip it and come back. The first question I got was a math one... and I was already about to puke. I skipped it. Came back. And figured the answer out later. I passed!! Just today. This will give you confidence. Because you will know 90% of the answers.

The cons!!!! PocketPrepPTCE2026 crashes and signs you out a lot! The only way I was able to use t was to open it, let it load, not touch it for a while, scroll up and down to make sure it wasn’t gonna freeze, then select quick exam. Wait again! It will try to load the question of the day. Wait and wait. It’ll prob say “cannot find questions. Refresh” just click ok. And wait some more. And then your exam will load. Gah I know. It sounds awful. I can’t tell you how many times I forced closed PocketPrepPTCE2026 and even restarted my phone. But for the money I spent... I was gonna use it one way or another. And it has great info. I mean. I passed!!!

Worth the upgrade! A must have for anyone planning on taking the certification exam. If you or your employer are already risking $129 for you to take the PTCE, it is well worth you spending the extra $10 on PocketPrepPTCE2026.

Suggestion to the developer. Categorize questions better in the exam builder. (i.e. “Pharmacy Math” only having questions about basic calculations, IV drip rates, formulas, metric conversions, etc.) With the categories given, it was inconvenient to sift through questions and narrow down the types I wanted to practice. Also, as someone with retail pharmacy experience I was fairly well versed on brand/generic medication names. However, there should be an entire category of its own for those who may not be as familiar.

Hi I used the free version to practice the question of the day, Quick 10 questions and timed questions. The format of the questions represent the actual questions on the PTCB. I am not sure but I can vouch that the pai’s version would be great. I passed the exam. Thanks for the great study resource

I thought I would see what apps were available and chose this for all the awesome reviews. I had a manual I had studied but this was definitely more helpful. I just took the test and what do you know I PASSED !!!
Thank you so much for all the extra help. Love PocketPrepPTCE2026

I tried and used multiple test preps for the exam. The inaccuracies in several others by “master” pharmacy techs made things confusing. Of all, this program is by far the best. Great information. Ample opportunity to review weaknesses. Overall it’s a great way to study.

If you get tired of reading and watching videos this is PocketPrepPTCE2026 for you. Tons of different ways you can study and make it personal to your preferences. Worth paying for the subscription.

I found the other from an old Reddit post that had a 2007 outline which was great for math, but PocketPrepPTCE2026 was the best guide for the actual test and the mock exams are VERY similar to the real exam! Highly recommend to ANYONE needing to pass this exam.

I mostly used PocketPrepPTCE2026 for about a month everyday and the Official PTCB practice tests 2 days before and passed my test; Finished it with about 35 minutes left to double check. I like how you can focus on specific areas of the tests to see what you need to study more of. Recommend highly!

Crammed for 3 days using mostly PocketPrepPTCE2026 and took the test and it was so easy in comparison, for sure is a big reason in why i passed!! Only thing is it doesn’t really help with learning the top 200, more so helps you apply to knowledge if that makes sense. So i recommend using some flash cards and/or quizlet alongside this.

I used PocketPrepPTCE2026 as the free version at first along with other study guides. I then upgraded to paid version once I was answering questions that I had not come across in other study methods. I prepares you for the types of questions( not exact questions) that you may have on the exam. Thank you for detailed content! I passed on first try.

PocketPrepPTCE2026 helped me a lot from taking my exam. It may not be the same question as I have on my actual PTCB exam but the thought is there!! It's been rephrased but when you analyzed it, you know right away that your answer was right if you read all the rationale behind the choices given each question. Best of luck to everyone! 2 thumbs up for PocketPrepPTCE2026! Love it!

I was so nervous for this test, I downloaded several Apps and they all only had a limited number of questions they just kept repeating I looked up several different websites online and multiple websites had different answers to the same questions so I finally gave in and I bought PocketPrepPTCE2026 I took my test today and I passed it is definitely worth the money so don’t hesitate to spend it

I highly recommend purchasing the full version of PocketPrepPTCE2026. It has a breakdown in the order to Mosby’s 3rd Ed’s contents. Each focus point will contain about 100 multiple choice problems where you can manipulate what and how much you want to study at a time. Each question also provides an explanation to both the right and wrong answers. I would recommend PocketPrepPTCE2026 as a way to test your knowledge, but not as a stand alone! Good luck!

And I am certain that I wouldn’t have passed without PocketPrepPTCE2026. I almost exclusively used PocketPrepPTCE2026 to prepare. I had bought one of those prep books way back but didn’t find it all too helpful until PocketPrepPTCE2026 came along. I did all the questions in PocketPrepPTCE2026 , while prepped with a notebook and laptop to look up everything I didn’t know on every question (there are 800 or so). Great layout, great questions, great feedback. THANKS SO MUCH to the developers for creating PocketPrepPTCE2026!!!

I’m really loving PocketPrepPTCE2026! The free versions gets you going m, but once you’ve unlocked all the features it’s amazing. I haven’t taken my test as yet but I’m way more confident in taking it now than before! It lets you know where your weak areas are and allows you to get a tutor to help better understand. You can work on one topic at a time or multiple. And I like how you can set it up to tell it’s time to study to keep you on track till your test date! I will highly recommend for anyone who’s uneasy about taking the test! ❤️

I saw PocketPrepPTCE2026 several months before I was set to take the exam and basically answered a few questions every other day from the “Ultimate” package without any other supplemental material. This was super helpful in getting me familiar with different concepts and with starting to memorize difficult information very early. Then, about 6 days leading up the the exam, I reviewed the Mosby book chapters each day and used this to quiz myself over the material. Super helpful because although I started ACTUALLY studying 6 days before, I already knew a lot of the information from just using PocketPrepPTCE2026 in my free time. 100% recommend and I PASSED!

Considering purchasing, I already own the PTCB calculations app and it’s helping tremendously. I enjoy the pocket prep format although I’m having trouble accessing my other free questions after mentioning and liking them on social media. Other then that I recommend it.
