Yes, I don't remember where it is off-hand. I think I remember being it on the reverse of the answer sheet. But yes, you have a no-score option which you can elect to use at any time until you turn it in I believe.

If you selected PharmCAS as a recipient and then no score the test, will schools still see that you took the test and didn't recieve a score? I suspect this might look bad

If you choose no score, no one will see it except for you and Pearsons.

Pretty sure your test wont be graded at all and there will be no history of you taking the exam. It basically becomes a practice test for 150 bucks where you dont even know how you do.

I just called Pearson to confirm this and you are right: schools will not know you have "no scored" the test even if you selected them or PharmCAS as a score recipient and you can use the no score option at anytime during the test.

Heck, with all the crazy stuff I saw on the Oct 09 PCAT in the Math and Chem section, I still think it would be worth $150 to see a real sample tests. I will brainstorm afterwards and take notes on what I saw.

With my current time studying, I don't know if I will go above a 69% (my last score) so this will probably be just be a "research" round.
