Pharmacy technician practice test available online

ST. CHARLES, Mo. The Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians has created a practice test designed to help pharmacy technicians prepare for national certification.

The practice tests offers 50 questions that are similar to those on the ExCPT. Technicians will have 90 minutes to complete the 50 questions. The test is web-based and can be taken anywhere there is Internet access.

Technicians can register for the test from the ICPT main page, www.nationaltechexam.org, or going to nationaltechexam.coursehost.com.

“The test does not confer certification nor does it guarantee or predict results on the ExCPT,” said Ken Schafermeyer, director of education for ICPT. “But this can be one of several means technicians can use to prepare for national certification with ExCPT.”
