PTCB practice test

We’re writing a PTCB practice test, and a pharmacy professional checks every question before it goes live, because drug facts change often. Join the waitlist to hear the day it opens.

About the PTCB exam

The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board gives the PTCE. It has 90 multiple-choice questions and you get 1 hour and 50 minutes. 80 of the questions count toward your score, and the other 10 are unscored.

What the practice test will include

The PTCB pass will include full practice tests that follow PTCB’s 2026 content outline, a question bank by topic, every answer explained, and insights that show which topics to review. The pharmacy review takes time, so the PTCB test will open after our TEAS practice.
