I have a simple question. Does anyone recommend any calculus prep books for the PCAT test.
 
just buy regular PCAT books. you dont need special calc review book for pcat. plus math isn't that difficult anyway. know how to convert percentage to fraction, fraction to percentage. questions are like .035% = what fraction? it makes sence because almost all the pharmaceuticlas are come in ratio form, in percentage.
 
The PCAT has simple Calc...if you know how to take derivatives and you know what each derivative means you'll be fine.
Things to remember:
Product rule
Quotient rule
Derivative by definition (x->0 of (F(x+h)-F(x))/(X+H)

P.S. It's been a while I think that's right....
