    I passed the PTCB exam today, September 19, 2023, in Hayward, CA. It was difficult, and I was quite surprised to have passed. THANK YOU, AMANDA for posting these solidly helpful videos! They made for an excellent free-time supplement to the in-class schooling and in-retail externship in the months leading up to the exam. Particularly the drug list videos. Listening to you while hiking or cooking or whatever I was doing helped some of the rote memorization stick in my head. CHEERS TO YOU!!!

      @@HoobleyWoobley the test took about 2 hours, I studied for about a week after work for about an hour or two the week leading to the test and half an hour the morning before. After finishing the test you will instantly see if you pass or fail but it took about 3 weeks for all of the certification to be cleared for the board and i guess for your footage to be watched back for cheating

    • @NoxCattus
      @NoxCattus 2 года назад +1

      From what I understand, the questions are weighted differently. Having said that, max score is 1600. 90 questions with 10 of them not scored leaves 80 scorable questions. 1600÷80 questions would be 20 points. So most you could miss would be 10 questions cause the minimum score for passing is 1400. That would mean out of 90 questions you need to get at least 70 of them correct.
