I bought a set of PCAT books 3 years ago, thinking I was ready to take the exam. I decided not to take it, b/c I hadn't taken Organic Chemistry, Calculus, and I only had the basic Bio 101 behind my belt. Im going to take the exam this summer, but do you think I need to buy new books or can I just study from the ones I bought 3 years ago? I paid over $200 for them. Im not sure if the info on the test has really changed that much. They're basically 2011 books from Kaplan and McGraw Hill. Any responses are appreciated!

The PCAT changed in 2012 in terms of content. They put more emphasis on some topics and less on others. They also introduced some new topics like Biochemistry. So to be safe, I'd probably look into getting more recent material.

I'm taking my PCAT in 2 weeks. I'll probably be selling my material afterwards if you're interested.
