so whats a good PCAT score in the new PCAT

[Mapi]

The scoring on the PCAT changed for 2004. If a school previously accpeted students with 80%, are they still looking for that score from those that took the new PCAT ?

IMO, I think most schools would look at how well you did compared to everyone else applying at the same time.

The PCAT is a normed test, so the percentiles will not change. For example, to get into Mensa you need to score at the 98th percentile of the population on an IQ test. These tests change regularly, but regardless of the score, you will still score at a specific percentile which earns you admission into the club. So, if a pharmacy school requires at least an 80%, that will not change. If anything, the school may raise their standards because of competition, but that doesn't have anything to do with the test itself.
