PTCB Law Practice Test

Federal Requirements is 18.75% of the PTCE. These questions cover federal law only, since the PTCE does not test state rules: DEA schedules and forms, controlled substance prescriptions, hazardous waste, restricted drug programs, recalls and supply-chain tracing.

90 questions in 1 hour 50 minutes, weighted to the four PTCE domains, with a score report by domain and a worked explanation for every answer.
