So im about to start my first semester majoring in Pre-pharmacy and im thinking I should get a head start on the PCAT. The only problem is I havent done any biology or chemistry in a long time. So should I wait till I take bio 101 and chem 101 before I even worry about it, or should I go ahead and start preparing for the PCAT?

If you find PCAT a piece of cake, why not give it a short?

Not sure what you mean, I never said it was a piece of cake( I realize I probably mis-interpreted what you said).

It might not be the worst idea to buy a review book for the PCAT and consult it during the semesters as you're taking the courses. There's no need to take the test so early that you almost guarantee you'll be taking it again.

If I were you, I would just focus on your classes. If this is going to be your first semester doing the pre-pharmacy curriculum I would devote all that extra time in ensuring that you get as many A's as you can in your classes. I wouldn't start studying the PCAT materials until you actually learned it in school. You have two years+ until pharmacy school. You have plenty of time 🙂

The way you study for the PCAT is by doing well in your classes. By that I don't mean getting an A; I mean that you understand the material backwards and forward and commit it to your long term memory.
