If you have $0 to spend, use this http://freepages.school-alumni.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dpok/APhA - The Pharmacy Technician, 4th Edition.pdf
Skip chapter 1. I didn't do any of the the chapter review quizzes in this book though but it wouldn't hurt to do them as well.
Also, use pharmacy-tech-study.com and get very familiar with everything on that website. Do the practice quizzes to catch little mistake you might make.

If you have some money to spare, I heard the Mosby's review book was the best. Also, try taking the PTCB practice exam to see what the exam is like so you get a better understanding of what to really focus on.

Most of the people here said they studied 2 weeks tops and passed. But I studied for 2 months and passed with extreme ease. Its really not that difficult but I went in over prepared so I don't think my opinion matters. Good luck
