Flashcards can be hand-made with index cards or electronically made with an online program such as Flashcard Machine. Alternatively, pre-made flashcards can be accessed for free on a variety of websites, such as Study Stack. Use flashcards to work on memorizing important facts that you believe you may be tested on when taking the PTCB exam, such as names and uses of drugs, laws regarding dispensing legend drugs, and categories of controlled substances.
Quizzes are useful tools to test your knowledge and let you know what areas you need to continue to study prior to taking the PTCB exam. Quizzes can commonly be found in textbooks and study guides, but a series of free exams can also be found online to supplement your studying. Consider creating flashcards for any quiz questions that you missed. After studying with the flashcards, try the quizzes again to see if you've improved and change your study habits accordingly.
Playing games such as matching, hangman and crossword puzzles can be a fun way to study for your PTCB exam. A series of these games can be played for free online or you can create your own. Create flashcards for any facts that you find that you have a hard time correctly matching or guessing in the games. After studying with the flashcards, play the games again to see your improvement.
