Well, sort of. I found out that I don't actually have to take a college course to be a Pharmacy Technician. All I have to do is take the test. So here's my idea. I'm going to purchase the textbook and go through the entire thing, as if I were actually in class. But I can do it at my leisure, and not have to leave the house for work. Then once I've completed it, depending on how I feel about the material, I will either purchase the study book for the test, or take the test. If I don't pass it the first time, I will look into taking the course at the local community college. If I do pass it, and get my certificate, then I will have plenty of time to put applications in at all our pharmacies, and, since I'll still be working my current job, I'll have the ability to pick the right offer with the right hours and benefits. I can choose because I won't have to take the first job offered to me! How's that for a plan?? Love,

Sounds great! My suggestions would be to also "test" yourself on each chapter...come up with,or if the book has them, questions for every chapter..not just easy ones! and try and answer them without looking them up.. It is a great way to just review in general. GOOD LUCK!

Med Term is mostly memorizing root words and stuff. I got a 4.0 in it. Flash cards will help. Good luck with the big test! Love,
