I know this topic has been beaten to death, but here's a new spin on it. I want to hear from people who've taken the PCAT but consciously did not study any chemistry calculations. From my experience taking an official pearson test it seems like this might still be possible to do well in this situation. Am I correct?

The PCAT now has a more increased emphasis towards organic chemistry and less towards the general chemistry that involves calculations, about 60% gchem and 40% ochem.

Any problems that you'll see involving calculations are going to be ones with simple numbers that you can solve with pen and paper.

And I've taken the June PCAT. I definitely regretted wasting time studying for all the general chem calculations/formula stuff (like Henderson-Hasselbach equation for example). Take your time trying to memorize some organic chem reactions instead.
