Hi everyone,

I'm starting to study now for my PCAT this July (for admission in 2019-2020), and im wondering, is it enough to get the 2017-2018 or 2016-2017 books to study? Specifically Kaplan, but I might look into other prep books. I'm not sure if the test has changed considerably in the last two years. Up to date books are just so expensive but if I need to spend the extra $10-15 I will.
 
I took my PCAT this year in January and used PCAT materials from the 2016-2017 year. The material was very much effective and I scored really well (especially in the chemistry section). I am selling them for cheap if you are interested!
