If you’re studying for the pharmacy tech exam, you’ve likely heard the old adage, study smarter, not harder. Taking the test can be daunting, but with the right tips and strategies, you can master the exam and get your pharmacy tech career off to a great start. Here’s what you need to know.
Organize Your Study Time
Organization is key when it comes to studying for the pharmacy tech exam. To maximize your study time, break it up into manageable chunks and create a schedule. Choose a few days a week to study, and decide how many hours you’ll dedicate to studying each day.

Prepare for the Exam
Before you start studying, make sure you know what’s on the exam. The exam covers a variety of topics, including pharmaceutical calculations, medical terminology, and pharmacy law. Familiarize yourself with the exam content so you can focus your studies on the topics you need to practice the most.
You should also purchase a study guide or enroll in an online course to help you prepare for the exam. A good study guide will provide practice questions and tips to help you understand the material.
Stay Focused
It’s easy to get distracted while studying, but it’s important to stay focused. If you’re having trouble staying on task, try setting a timer and giving yourself short breaks to reward yourself for staying on task. You can also try studying with a friend or in a study group. Just make sure to stay on task and don’t get too distracted by conversation.
Practice, Practice, Practice
The best way to prepare for the pharmacy tech exam is to practice, practice, practice. Take practice tests to get comfortable with the format of the exam and the types of questions you’ll be asked. Doing practice tests can also help you identify the topics you need more practice on.
If you’re having trouble with certain topics, ask your teacher for help or look for online tutorials. There are also plenty of study apps and websites that offer practice tests and quizzes to help you study.
Be Confident
One of the most important things to remember when taking the pharmacy tech exam is to be confident. Once you’ve studied and prepared, you can trust that you know the material. Believe in yourself and trust that you can do it.
Final Thoughts
Studying for the pharmacy tech exam can be intimidating, but with the right tips and strategies, you can master the exam.
