I know on the PCAT website it has specific breakdowns of each section, like how percent of organic chemistry and what percent of general chemistry and stuff. I was just wondering do you guys feel that all 4 PCAT dates are about the same level of difficulty??? I've taken the PCAT twice (october and january). I found that in the october PCAT, there was very little organic chem, very little microbio. but in the january one, the # of organic and microbio was significantly higher.
I didn't study for the october one and scored about 15 points higher than the january one, which i spent 1 month studying for.
I know the scoring on the PCAT is not based on the number of questions you got right, it's the overall percentile and you're being compared to everyone that took the same PCAT on the same date. I'm reapplying to pharm school next year, and i plan on retaking the PCAT one more time. which PCAT section do you recommend? the august or the october?? would the august one be less competitive since most current freshmen want to wait till october, or should i take the october becuz i will have taken all my pre reqs and will be at an advantage compared to other people??
