Feeling so overwhelmed. Despite my months of studying I'm not adequately prepared.


Kill me, please.
 
I'm in the same boat as you and feeling very overwhelmed. Today i felt like I was ready but then I took a practice test and now I'm freaked out :scared:
 
You are not alone....same here.....i get scared of going BLANK at times :scared:...i am just praying hard, nothing goes wrong on the big day!!!!

Yeah, I know how you feel. My problem is I don't know how to compare the practice test to the real thing. For instance, I only got about 60% of the questions right on one section and got about 90% on another, but those could be completely different percentile ranks. I mean you could theoretically miss half the questions and get an 80% percentile if others did worse.
 
feeling nervous before the exam is normal. just a realistic point of view you are not going to remember everything you study. you are bound to forget something here or there.

but it seems like , most of everyone here, like myself, have been studying the entire summer. just take it easy these next few days review flashcards, and don;t stress out. im sure you guys will do great. you all seem like sincere hardworking students..i know what you;re all thinking im too optimistic...but seriously if you have been studying sincerely it should pay off🙂

just remember when taking the practice exams , they are generally more difficult than the actual pcat. so if you;re scoring 60% in one area that doesn;t necessarily mean you will score a 60% on that section when you take the pcat.

good luck everyone!
 
I am totally stressed out over Saturday, but not too bad. My main downfall is that I haven't had a chemistry class since 2000, and will be taking organic as a refresher this upcoming school year. Nice thing is I have already been told by my pharmacy school to take it twice. By taking it now, it will give me a true gage of where I stand, and by the time the test comes around again this October I will have Organic back on my mind and at the forefront. I may surprise myself and do good. I just don't know what to think, and won't for 6 weeks.

Good luck everyone
