For those who are happy and did pretty well on the AUg PCAT, can you give us some study tips and materials you guys used to achieve those scores?
 
Use Kaplan for everything but math (and maybe review your orgo notes if you are rusty, but the orgo was pretty basic).

I don't know what is best for math review, but overall I think Kaplan's was very solid on everything else.
 
Kaplan for general review. Barrons and Cliffs 5-test book, Pcat flashcards book (really a book of practice problems), GRE verbal workbook, Calculus and Chemistry textbooks to review weak areas uncovered by practice tests and more flashcards than you can imagine! I spent the entire summer doing nothing but study for this. First, reviewed all the subjects, then practice problems and studying the topics of the problems I got wrong. I saved the last test for the night before...Hope that helps. I had never heard of Dr. Collins before recently on this board. Oh, and youtube has some great videos on calc concepts like chain rule, etc that I didn't remember and just reading them from the book wasn't that helpful.
