Pharmacist here wanting to see what is in a tech course nowadays. This one is full of incorrect/never seen or heard of abbreviations in over 30 years working, wrong UOMs seen on questions, poorly worded questions or questions not covered, totally not-real-life dosing, new math with bizarre rounding (let's convert that 20.016mg to 20.01mg which would be 2.005 ml of the pediatric suspension per dose! No, not 2 ml. ). I didn't pass one test because some questions were vague or answers all seemed possibly wrong or right depending on context. Please look up how to correctly pronounce drugs like methylpred.
