About this ebook
You know your ExCPT date. Between now and then: 458 questions with every option explained, three timed 100-question practice exams, a 14-day plan opening on a 20-question diagnostic. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a pharmacy preceptor runs a certification review, not the way a shelf gets filled. NHA's ExCPT test plan comes from a 2023 job analysis, and every page follows it. You sit 120 items in two hours and ten minutes. Only 100 are scored; the other 20 are pretest items you cannot tell apart. The Dispensing Process holds 43 of the scored items, close to half the exam. Role and general duties hold 15, laws 15, medication safety and quality assurance 14, drugs and drug therapy 13. The exam asks most of its questions there, so your fourteen evenings split the same way. Check us against NHA's published test plan. We would rather you did.
What's inside
The Dispensing Check, six steps in fixed order. Right patient, right drug, right dose, right directions, right label, then the pharmacist's verification. You run it until it runs itself.
458 original questions, every option explained. Each rationale gives the reason the key is right. It also names what the near miss got wrong: a decimal, a sig, a step outside your scope.
Three timed exams of 100 questions, matched to the scored count and the five domain weights, with no question repeated between them.
Calculations worked in the open. Days supply, percentage strength, dilutions with C1V1 = C2V2, alligation and flow rates. You'll see every line, units left in.
Printable reference cards. Sig codes, controlled-substance schedules and refill rules, brand to generic, DAW codes, a look-alike sound-alike safety card. Maybe the last technician book you opened was a drug list with a quiz at the back. Give this one three evenings. Learn the Dispensing Check on Day 1 and use it at the counter next morning. If it changes nothing, put it down. An hour is all it cost.
Three kinds of technician get use from it. Someone certifying through the NHA route. Someone whose employer has set a deadline. A career-changer coming to the counter from another trade. If intake and data entry are already your day job, start at Day 3.
Day 8 is the evening that decides the exam. Alligation, dilution and flow rates, one after another, units written out at every line. Get them wrong on paper tonight, not on a label later. Downloaded once, yours to keep.

About the author
Passmark builds one kind of book: the one that makes your study hours count. We start from a simple conviction — a certification exam is a skills test, not a memory test — so we never hand you a wall of facts to reread. Our method comes from the science of how memory actually holds: you learn by retrieving, not rereading; you revisit on a widening schedule so it sticks; every answer is explained, right and wrong, so you keep the reasoning; and a diagnostic points your hours where they will move your score. We read each exam's current blueprint ourselves, write every question from scratch, and check every number in the book — question counts, domain weights, practice tests — against the finished pages, not the marketing. When an exam changes, our books change with it.
