Hey, I just wanted to share my PCAT score and give advice to future test takers.
BIO 447 96%
CHEM 449 96%
CR 402 61% (RIP)
QR 423 85%
Composite 430 93%
BIO - The most straightforward section of the exam. If you know the information, you'll know the answers. Just know all of the materials and you'll be good to go.
CHEM- A LOT of bonding questions and amino acids and you can easily solve some questions without reading the passage. I did spot 1-2 tricky questions, but other than that it's very straightforward.
CR - Out of 6 passages, 2 of the passages and the set of questions were the same as July PCAT. Not much to comment on this section because you can't improve greatly over a short period of time. Just read the questions first and then the passage. I thought about retaking it because of the reading score, but it's unlikely that I'll retake it.
QR- Idk how I feel about math because I ended up running out of time and guessed 11 questions. Just pace your time on the section, and expect calculus and vector questions no matter what.
I did not take A&P, organic chemistry, biochem, or microbiology yet and just studied them myself. I dedicated the whole summer studying 5-6 hours everyday with dr collins, kaplan, pearson practice tests and it turns out you can get above 90% without taking the courses. So, I would like to encourage some people out there who think that they can't pull the score up.
I would say dr collins is really useful.
