Is it normal to recognize pharmacy drug names in multiple choice but not be able to recall/spell them from scratch?
I’m currently studying for the PTCB exam and I’ve noticed something about my learning.
I can usually recognize drug names and their answers when I see multiple-choice options (brand vs generic, drug classes, etc.), but I struggle to spell or say the exact drug names correctly from scratch.
For example, I might recognize “lisinopril” or “amlodipine” when I see it, but when I try to write or say it it myself I sometimes end up with small spelling / sounding errors like “linisopril” instead of “lisinopril,” even though I know what it is when I see it.
Is this normal for PTCB prep? And does the actual exam focus more on recognition rather than perfect spelling? I’m worried how this would translate over when actually working and pronouncing these prescriptions on the job.
Any advice from people who have taken it would be appreciated.

Sent Embarrassing Text About Being in Therapy To A Group Chat
College student, currently in therapy -- accidentally sent a text to my group chat stating "I need your card for therapy." I played it off acting like I meant to send it to a friend. I feel so fucking embarrassed right now. This was supposed to be a private conversation. These are just some classmates who I was in a group project with, not really my friends, but it was full of boys and I am just so embarrassed.
