Summary: This is a good reference book, but not a review book.
Review: I read the whole book. I recently took the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam, and found that the book wasn't crucial in passing the exam. I had already taken pharmacy tech classes at a college, which helped me a lot more. I recomend buying another books that discusses specific pharmacy tech topics, unlike this one which goes through the pharmacy situations very superficially. It also has a lot of pages of practice problems, practice physician orders, and empty charts to fill in which took up a large portion of the book. In fact, out of the 400 pages in the book, about 2/3 were blank tables to fill in, practice physician orders, practice prescriptions, and references of drugs. A better use of money for preparing for this test is another book that doesn't act as a list of drugs and their uses. A book with detailed pharmacy operations, and calculations is essential for doing well on the exam.
