Free test — drug calculations
Drug calculations quiz:
test yourself
Ten questions, one for each topic, with a calculator alongside and a worked solution after every answer. You see straight away which areas need more practice.
How the test works
One topic per question
From weights and measures to infusion rate. Each question comes from its own topic, so the result shows where you are strong and where you are weaker.
Answer first, see the solution after
You work it out with the calculator alongside and type in a number. After each answer you see the correct answer and the steps of the solution.
Right or wrong, no tolerance
An answer is either right or wrong. Each question tells you how to round, and decimals are typed with a full stop, for example 4.5.
Frequently asked questions about the test
How many questions are in the quiz?+
Ten questions, one for each of ten drug calculation topics: weights and measures, mL and drops, kg and m², time, percentages, solid dosage forms, oral liquids and drops, injections and dilution, infusions and dilution, and infusion rate.
Are these real exam questions?+
No. The questions are our own practice questions covering the kinds of steps that usually appear in drug calculations. They are not copies of real exam papers.
Can the quiz tell me whether I will pass my exam?+
No. It is a short test that shows which topics you may need to practise more. Ten questions are not enough to predict an exam result, and requirements differ between universities.
Can I use a calculator in the quiz?+
Yes. A calculator sits next to every question. You can also use your own.
Is there any tolerance when the answers are marked?+
No. An answer is either right or wrong. Each question tells you how to round, and decimals are typed with a full stop, for example 4.5.
