Sample PCB Pharmacist Registration Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your PCB Pharmacist Registration exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A patient asks whether a pharmacy worker's name appears on the official register before taking advice about medicines. Which action best matches safe professional practice in Bangladesh?
A.Assure the patient verbally that anyone working behind a pharmacy counter is automatically registered
B.Show a shop trade license as proof that all staff are registered pharmacists
C.Refuse to discuss registration status because patients have no role in checking it
D.Direct the patient to the Pharmacy Council of Bangladesh registered pharmacist verification service or other official verification channel
Explanation: The Pharmacy Council of Bangladesh maintains registration activities and official verification. Directing the patient to official verification supports transparency and public safety.
2Which statement best describes A, B, and C category pharmacist registration in the PCB context?
A.They are fee levels that determine whether a pharmacist may avoid renewal obligations
B.They are registration categories handled through PCB registration activities, with eligibility linked to approved qualifications or courses
C.They are hospital ward categories assigned by individual employers without PCB involvement
D.They are medicine risk categories used to decide whether antibiotics can be sold over the counter
Explanation: Official PCB notices include A, B, and C category registration activities. These are registration categories, not medicine risk classes or employer-only designations.
3Under the Pharmacy Ordinance, 1976, which function is most directly associated with the Pharmacy Council of Bangladesh?
A.Preparing and maintaining registers of pharmacists and granting registration certificates
B.Setting retail prices for every brand of medicine sold in Bangladesh
C.Licensing every private clinic and diagnostic center
D.Approving hospital construction plans and biomedical waste routes
Explanation: The Ordinance gives the Council registration-related functions, including maintaining registers, registering pharmacists, and granting registration certificates.
4A recent graduate sees an online post promising guaranteed PCB registration without approved education records or examination where required. What is the safest response?
A.Pay the service first because registration can be corrected later if documents are missing
B.Submit altered documents if the application portal accepts uploaded files
C.Use only official PCB application notices and channels, and avoid third-party promises of guaranteed registration
D.Ask the service to apply under a different person's registration number
Explanation: PCB registration should follow official notices, online application links, and eligibility requirements. False documents or misuse of registration numbers creates serious professional and legal risk.
5A registered pharmacist is asked to dispense a medicine using another pharmacist's registration certificate because the other person is absent. What is the most appropriate professional response?
A.Use the certificate if the absent pharmacist gives verbal permission by phone
B.Use the certificate only for nonprescription medicines
C.Refuse to use another person's certificate and provide services only within personal professional accountability
D.Display both certificates and let customers decide which one applies
Explanation: A registration certificate identifies the registered professional and supports accountability. Using another person's certificate misrepresents who is responsible for pharmacy services.
6A prescription is written for amoxicillin suspension 250 mg/5 mL, 500 mg three times daily. What volume should be given for each dose?
A.10 mL
B.5 mL
C.15 mL
D.20 mL
Explanation: The suspension contains 250 mg in 5 mL. A 500 mg dose requires twice that volume, so 10 mL is needed per dose.
7Which dosage form is designed to dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth and avoid swallowing a conventional tablet whole?
A.Enteric-coated tablet
B.Orodispersible tablet
C.Depot injection
D.Transdermal patch
Explanation: Orodispersible tablets are intended to disperse in the mouth. Enteric-coated tablets should generally be swallowed whole to protect the coating.
8A patient receives an enteric-coated aspirin tablet. Which counselling point is most appropriate?
A.Crush it to make absorption faster and more predictable
B.Dissolve it in hot tea before taking it
C.Chew it with antacid to protect the stomach
D.Swallow it whole unless the prescriber or product information says otherwise
Explanation: Enteric coatings are intended to remain intact until the dosage form reaches the intestine. Crushing or chewing can defeat the coating and alter safety or effectiveness.
9Which auxiliary label is most important for a reconstituted dry powder antibiotic suspension when the product information requires refrigeration?
A.Keep in direct sunlight to prevent contamination
B.Take only when fever is present
C.Dilute each dose in a full bottle of water
D.Store in a refrigerator and shake well before each dose
Explanation: Many reconstituted suspensions need shaking for dose uniformity, and some require refrigeration. Storage instructions should follow the product information.
10A prescription says metformin 500 mg, one tablet twice daily with meals, quantity 60. How many days should the supply last?
A.15 days
B.30 days
C.45 days
D.60 days
Explanation: One tablet twice daily means 2 tablets per day. A quantity of 60 tablets lasts 30 days.

PCB Pharmacist Registration Study Tips from Top Performers

1Start with the active PCB notice for your category or route because application windows, documents, fees, and sitting details are notice-specific.
2Review the Pharmacy Ordinance at a high level: registers, registration certificates, approved courses and examinations, admission qualifications, and professional conduct.
3Practise dispensing and calculations carefully: dose units, dilutions, paediatric weight-based dosing, labels, storage, stability, and counselling points.
4Prioritize common patient-safety topics: antibiotics, TB medicines, diabetes, hypertension, asthma/COPD, pregnancy and lactation counselling, high-alert medicines, ADR reporting, and red-flag referral.
5Use the PCB automation portal for verification and application workflows, and avoid relying on unofficial pass-rate or result summaries as regulatory facts.
