Big thanks on this, I was positive he was a pharmacist, but right, pharmacy "tech." I'm confused because I see this on a source, though: "Allen was once employed as a licensed pharmacy technician at the CVS in Delphi. He received his Indiana license to be a pharmacist in 2018, and it was still active when he was arrested in October 2022." Assuming just a tech, seeing this:Pretty sure it was determined early on that RA wasn't a pharmacist. Just a salesperson in the section that included the pharmacy. I'll see if I can find a source.

Seeing this for the PTCB exam:
What Is the Passing Score for the Pharmacy Technician Exam?
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE) employs a scaled scoring system. The score for the exam ranges between 1,000 and 1,600. To pass this credentialing examination, you need to attain a scaled score of 1,400 or above.While this may seem challenging at first glance, the pharmacy technician final exam actually has an average pass rate of approximately 71%. This means that with the right preparation and dedication, candidates can achieve this score and get started on their careers in the pharmacy industry.

Seeing the ExCpt exam is arguably easier, but you need this to qualify to take this test instead:
In order to take the ExCPT exam, you must have you high school diploma or GED and meet one of the following:
- Complete a pharmacy technician training/education program. If you've completed a pharmacy technician program in the last 5 years , you are eligible to take the ExCPT exam.
- 1 year of work experience (minimum of 1,200 hours). If you've worked for at least a year as a pharmacy technician (minimum of 1,200 hours), you are also eligible to take the exam even if you have not gone to school.
