FREE PTCE Readiness Check — 25 Questions, Scored by Domain (2026)

Find out where you actually stand before you book the exam. Twenty-five questions, weighted exactly like the real PTCE, and scored by domain so you can see which area is actually costing you points.

Built by Patrick, PharmD — a hospital pharmacist who precepts pharmacy technicians. Inside the free PDF:

• 25 questions split to the real 2026 weights — Medications 9, Patient Safety & QA 6, Order Entry & Processing 6, Federal Requirements 4
• An answer key with the study-guide section for every question, so a miss tells you exactly what to open
• A scoring page that does the real teaching — how to weight your remaining study time by how much each domain is actually worth, instead of restudying everything
• The current domain percentages from PTCB's Content Outline v1.4 (effective January 6, 2026) — including a warning that a lot of study material still uses the pre-2026 split

Where the questions come from. These are real items from the domain mini-mocks inside The PTCE Preceptor. The full course has six practice exams — including two full-length 90-question mocks — and a guided study path that reads your scores and tells you what to study next. See what's inside →

Prefer to read it? The complete text of the course is now a Kindle book — The PTCE Preceptor, $9.99 on Amazon. The course itself adds the slide decks, the flashcards and the six practice exams; the book is the teaching in print.

If the check says Order Entry and Processing is costing you points, that is usually calculations. The PTCE Math Kit — 44 worked problems across the five setups that cover almost every calculation question → Full worked solution for every one, not just an answer key. $12.
