I am taking the PCAT this week and I got the following scores on my practice PCAT:

70% Verbal
65% Biology
55% Chemistry
53% Reading
60% Math

Since the official PCAT score is a %ile, which takes into account how others perform for each section, and on the practice PCAT it is just a % of wrong to right answers (ex: for verbal, I got 28/40 which = 70%), what overall score do you think I would get?

Did you take the Pearson practice test? I just took my last one today since I'm taking the PCAT for the first time on Friday and my percentiles came as a range. For example, I got 30/40 for verbal and my percentile for the subtest was 62-82.

Yup I got a range as well. What was your overall range? Mine was 40-60 🙁

Mine was 78-98. I am extremely shocked by this because I don't feel confident at all. I have not taken organic or A&P yet and I did not even bother studying organic at all because I simply cannot teach it to myself. I got lucky on the chemistry section because I guessed on literally every organic question and got most of them right just out of pure luck. Are you taking the PCAT this weekend as well?

I'm taking it on Thursday.

78-98 is really good.. I'm screwed. How'd you do on the math and biology?

I just took my last one today and my over all was 65-85% taking mine tomorrow I'm scared because I purchased 3 of the Pearson exams and the first two seemed much more easier my percent line was between 70 and 90 and this one was lower...
