Crack the PCAT helps you score higher and save study time for your Pharmacy College Admission Test. Math 31 pct UGHHHH I was skipping almost every problemīiology: 90 % (I felt good seeing this one)Ĭhemistry 68 % (I felt more hurried this time but will keep learning) Reading 70 pct (I recognized some of the readings from the last time I took the Pearson Practice exams over a year ago, so I'm kind of dubious to this one) Quantitative: I improved because I keep reacquiring lost skills.īio 72 pct Correction : actually 78 saw it on score reportĬhem 70 pct (my computer changed two of my correct answers) You'll start to get the hang of pacing with lots of practice, which is more helpful that obsessively checking the clock every 3-5 minutes, disrupting your flow and stressing you out more than you need to be! If you check the time every 2-3 passages or so, you'll know whether your pacing is too fast, too slow, or just right without having panic set in towards the end of the timer.īio 63 percent actually 66 pct (spotted an answer that was changed by computer)īio hurt my feelings but I will scribe the index cards.Ĭhemistry this section I found MUCH easier than in the first two practice exams. As you read the passage, don't take any notes because that can take up a lot of time that you could be spending on answering questions, but instead take a second to pause after each paragraph to ask yourself, What was the point of this paragraph, in a few words? Also, try to do 2-3 passages a week because they'll really add up over time and assimilate into your regular routine so that your Critical Reading skills will stay sharp. The best thing I've found that works is to do two types of practice: timed practice to work on pacing, and untimed practice to try to maximize your understanding of the passage and work on specific goals. Select the answer THEY want.īasically, pick the answer that is the most neutral and SUPPORTED IN THE TEXT.Ĭlick to expand.Hey hecksflakes, a lot of people think you can't really "study" for the Critical Reading section but that's so not true. Try to skim as best you can for the passages, and don't answer how YOU want to answer. I don't have much advice for the reading section, unfortunately. my passages were way too long and boring, and I started freaking out 'cause I ran out of time. I did great on the reading sections in the Pearson tests, but not as hot on the actual PCAT.
You should invest in at least a couple Pearson practice tests since you still have time. For the PCAT, you can't really do that (at least, I had trouble doing that). For the Kaplan, you could answer the questions without thoroughly reading the passages. But the reading was easier in Kaplan than PCAT.
The Kaplan practice exams are more difficult than the PCAT tbh. 70th percentile on practice tests to 94th percentile on actual PCAT math section.Ĭlick to expand.I used Kaplan, and it worked out great!! I was dedicated to my studying, though: I read the whole book I took notes on the chapters I rewrote all my notes like 3 times and reviewed them weekly. In the final 5 minutes, go through all your skipped problems and select your chosen letter. "C" was my choice, but do it based off the Pearson practice tests (see what the most common answer choice is for the tough questions you miss).įor problems you decide to skip, select your chosen letter, flag it, and come back to it at the end if you have time. It helps, of course, to go through all the problems and do the easy ones and immediately skip problems that look lengthy.ĪLSO super important to decide which letter to pick if you're just straight-up guessing. That helped a lot with improving my speed. Crunch time, few days before the exam, I was just doing math problems all day long while timing myself (think of reasonable time limit, then give yourself a little less than that). Actual score and Pearson test scores were comparable!įor all the Pearson practice tests I took, I only got halfway through the math sections.
