Re: Helpful Study Tools

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I do not know who makes these cards, and I do not know how good they are. But I

have had several posts like this that I have not posted but have continued to

ask questions of he poster for links etc and have never gotten an answer. This

means it is possible that the poster

is the seller or is helping the seller. I am posting this out of fairness to the

last post by Joe Medina.

HOWEVER that being said as an instructor I ALWAYS recommend that one MAKES his

or her own study tools when ever possible such as

e-flash cards using www.studystack.com

After reading Joe's post regarding Anki flash cards and checking out other such

as Audio Flash, I have to say if you need sound that the BEST BUY is NO PURCHASE

AT ALL with QUIZLET it has automatic audio.

Since it is a digital voice it is not always correct, but most of the time it

is.

You can ALSO make your OWN flash cards using powerpoint and place your own

recording on the card.

I will make an example and place it on this site.

Hope this helps, and rememeber we learn best by experience.

So if you are making the flash cards then you are creating an experience other

than using your credit card or wallet on a %5 pack and waiting for them to

arrive. You can instead use the SAME time, SAVE a dime and Make your OWN!

Hi Everyone,

I have seen many flash card sales on ebay that to say nicely ... are a total

ripoff. Just posting this to inform and hopefully save someone from getting

ripped off.

examples:

---------------

" 6,000 Flashcards for PTCB PTCE Pharmacy Technician Exam "

just look at the examples given and you will see the cards are geared towards a

Pharmacist (NAPLEX) exam not the PTCB exam. 6000 Pharmacology questions are

nice to know, if you can even understand them, but is this worth 2 or 3 basic

questions asked on the national exam?

---------------

" Secrets of the PTCB Exam "

again geared towards the Pharmacist (NAPLEX) exam as the Pharmacology is nice to

know but may only encompass 2 or 3 questions on the national exam out of the

hundreds they want you to study, if you can even understand them.

---------------

" Flashcard Study System for the PTCB Exam "

same people who sell the Secrets of the PTCB Exam

---------------

then Dawn managed to get tons of her books, flash cards, etc. on ebay and claims

to be a former item writer, pharmacist and knows all you need to know because

her questions are the ones you will see on the national exam and she just knows

it all.

I have not checked her material out, but at least it does appear to be about the

PTCB exam and not some Pharmacist exam.

---------------

Tech Lectures Review Manual/CD ROM

As for my own? I just do the best to ensure that I give what is necessary and

hope not too many get ripped off with other products on Ebay. Of course that is

what Tech Lectures is about in helping those in need along the way in their

chosen vocation.

Hello,

I found some very help study tools. You find these Exam Resources in ebay. I

bought some PTCB flashcards and practice exams. They really helped me to pass

the exam and they only cost me $.99 to $4.99. It was definitely worth it, they

are 5 stars.

Good luck, Gregg
