Just wonder if they provide computer-based PCAT in any test location?

I hate handwriting the essay. I type faster. And it is a mess going back to delete and add something.

As far as I know, not in the United States. I had a colleague who got an exemption for a Sunday PCAT because of some pertinent conflict, but that was paper-based too.

I am also a slow writer who can't write as much by hand, but I managed to get a 4 for the writing section. To be honest, the writing section isn't nearly as important as the other science sections and your overall score. Sure, you don't want a 1 or a 2, but that would hold as much weight as would a 60 or a 70 composite. So, you can have a relatively small essay that works as long as you can sufficiently answer the prompt.

Omnione.. In other words, writing score is not a part of composite score/percentile? Correct?
