PTCB Math Crash Course — Pharmacy Calculations for Techs Who Struggle With Math
If you are weak at math, rusted after years away from school, or scared of the Order Entry calculator items, this is the $47.99 lane. PTCB Math Crash Course is focused 2026 PTCE math — not fluff, not the 20-hour Founders Course 6, not a Top 200 dump.
4–6 hours of cards. Not the 20-hour Founders Course 6.
All sales are final.
If you struggle with pharmacy math
Most techs fail these items on a unit, a Sig, or a second clock — not because they cannot divide. PTCB Math Crash Course uses the same Module 6 gold voice as Founders: units every step, Sig first, sanity checks, error-shape tables, then interleaved practice. You do not need to be “good at math.” You need a repeatable setup.
Crush PTCB calculations
2026 PTCE math lives in Order Entry. Eleven gold lessons (~253 minutes of cards) cover the high-yield set and skip the detours.
Not in this course
- Alligation as a method (wrong-option only)
- Deep non-sterile compounding recipe scaling
- Top 200 memorization — that is a different product
- The $1 days-supply cheat sheet — sibling link, not this SKU
- Public calculators — we link them, we do not rebuild them
Days supply & dosing
Tablets, liquids, insulin, inhalers, eye and ear, tapers, in-use caps, then weight-based pediatric (lb ÷ 2.2 first). Quantity is days-supply run backward.
IV flow rates
mL/hr and gtt/min with cancelled units. The lifted Founders IV gold is unchanged — same 29-card shape, same sanity checks.
Conversions & dilutions
mg↔mcg, tsp/tbsp, Roman marks, then C1V1 = C2V2. Alligation is a named wrong option only. Not a 2026 method.
Practice drills
Printable formula sheet plus harvested mini, mixed, and timed 7–12 item sets. Five Founders Module 6 golds are lifted unchanged. Six new crash golds fill the gaps. Founders Course 6 catalog titles are not remapped.
