Im studying for the PCAT, coming up on two weeks until the test date. I've been studying using the Dr Collins packets, including the January 2012 update. How many updates have there been since then? and are they really that much different? I understand there was a change in the PCAT blueprint last year so I just want to make sure I'm studying the right things.

Any input would be mucho appreciated! I'm new to SDN so I apologize in advance if there are already a million of these threads. Even a link to another thread would be great.

Thx! Happy 3 day weekend!

From my understanding there is a 2012 July, 2012 Sep, 2013 Jan, and 2013 July? I know the 2012 July helped me out on a couple of the newer biology/chemistry questions.

Is it possible to buy additional updates?

I just feel like the info in the collins packet I have is too easy/basic and the revisions to the test added more stuff about medicine/microbio.

No I already sold my full packet. If you have taken the Pearson Practice Tests then that should obviously helped you out a bit.

I am selling my July 2013 Dr.Collins Study Guide. This is the most recent version. Also have the 2011/ 2012 updates which I can throw in to the deal. Email me if interested.

Dr. Collins focused a little more on plants; I didn't see any plant bio on my PCAT. The rest of it was really good though, and the updates did provide some new things.

Overall, Dr. Collins was good for getting into a PCAT mindset 🙂 Pointed out any gaping holes in knowledge ... which is always nice.
