Default Doing Pearson practice tests multiple times


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
I have taken the MCAT and they recommend only doing those tests once. (Because it's a lot more critical thinking and after you finish the test doing it again becomes worthless)

The PCAT on the other hand.... It seems like a lot more memorization and less critical thinking.... Therefore is it a good idea to do the tests several times (Maybe 2 months in between?)

Also... It says

"However, you will not be able to score any subtest more than once"

Do you only get to score your test one time?

Yes you only get to score them one time and once u do all of them it will calculate your composite.

So you can only take the test once and get one score? (That sounds really dumb).

So..... you CAN'T take the test more than once, right? Because it will only score it for you once....

YOu can still review the questions on your own. This is what I did in preparation for studying for the bio/chem sections. I ended up getting ~90th percentile for both and I attribute that to the pearson practice sections...especially since I hadn't taken chem in 3 or 4 years.
