have anyone been able complete all of the question on the Kaplan's practice test in 30 minutes? For the life of me I can't ever get it all done. I always have like 10 left over.

Do a little searching and you'll see the general consensus is that nobody can complete that test in 30 min, and the real test focuses much more on concepts. I'm beginning to think kaplan designed that book to scare people into enrolling in their PCAT courses!

Agreed. I'm also pretty sure they make the diagnostic test significantly harder than the test at the end of the book to make it seem like their material resulted in a huge improvement.

How would you compare the test at the end of the book to the actually pcat

true but from what i been searching, the general consensus is that the final grade you get from kaplan's final test is more or so equivalent what you would get on the real PCAT. If you been getting 430~ in the midterm and the final you should be getting around that +/5.

I thought it was a little easier than the actual PCAT. I would suggest buying the practice tests from Pearson/Harcourt, those are pretty much right on in terms of comparable difficulty to the actual PCAT...plus the writing samples they include with them are pretty helpful.

If you buy it from Pearson/Harcourt, do you receive them right away?

i haven't done the comprehensive test in the back but when i did the mock diagnostic prior to studying, i got smoked on the chem section and wasn't even close to finishing.
