Hello Hannah,

I recently went into Walgreens and applied at the computer they

have set up. There are several parts of the skills assesment test.

One part is more towards the retail side of the job. Such as coupon

redemention etc. The actual Pharmacy Technician part has some name

comparison like pick the name that match column " A " identically. It

has a few questions on grams and kilograms. Such as how many grams

are in 1 kg. Then it has 5 questions on brand to generic drugs. Such

as the generic name for Lopid is? It will give you a column of brand

to pick the appropriate letter of the generic in column B. Good Luck

with your interveiw and I hope this Helps.

Sincerely,

Kris

Hey I have taken it and it was not really all that hard you just have some math

and you have to know some of the drug names but I did not know them all but I

still got the job, I am sure you will do fine.
