Kenya
Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB)
Understand the structure, what to focus on, then jump into the exact papers and tests.
Overview
Kenya’s PPB exam structure commonly runs as Stage I/II for Pharmacists (Degree route) and Level I/II for Pharmacy Technologists (Diploma route), each with Paper I and Paper II. Paper I aligns well with pre-clinical foundations; Paper II leans clinical and applied practice.
Paper I = Pre-clinicals · Paper II = Clinicals
Prep plan (simple & effective)
- Pass 1: Do Paper I sets fast → identify weak topics
- Pass 2: Do Paper II sets timed → focus decision-making + applied questions
- Review: Reattempt questions answered incorrectly within 48 hours.
- Final week: Mixed sets (Paper I + II) under time pressure
Your prep plan (but personalized)
Most people fail PPB prep for one reason: they revise “randomly”. Too much time on comfortable units, too little time on weak ones, and they reach the hard chapters too late. A personalized plan fixes that.
Why you need a personalized study plan
- Time is fixed. Your exam date won’t move — your schedule must.
- Weak units cost marks. A plan deliberately over-allocates time to weak areas.
- Chapters build on each other. We keep the flow from basic → advanced to avoid confusion.
- Consistency beats intensity. Daily subchapter targets prevent last-minute cramming.
How the plan builder works
- Tell us your timeframe and how many hours/day you can commit.
- Select strong vs weak units so we weight the schedule correctly.
- Choose your study style (notes, MCQs, flashcards — or a mix).
- We generate a daily timetable in minutes, with time estimates.

Pharmacists (Degree): Stage I & Stage II
Stage I
- Paper I: Pre-clinical fundamentals (core sciences + pharma foundations)
- Paper II: Clinical/application emphasis
- Best focus: accuracy, calculation discipline, core mechanisms, rational therapeutics
Stage II
- Paper I: Advanced pre-clinicals + systems integration
- Paper II: Clinical decision-making and practice scenarios
- Best focus: therapeutics, guidelines logic, patient safety, counsel + interventions
Technologists (Diploma): Level I & Level II
Level I
- Paper I: Pre-clinicals (foundations + dispensing basics)
- Paper II: Clinical/practical application
- Best focus: dispensing workflow, labels, calculations, basic therapeutics, safety
Level II
- Paper I: Advanced foundations
- Paper II: Higher clinical/practical complexity
- Best focus: practice scenarios, patient counselling, errors prevention, SOP logic
