So the question I have is whether or not the problem- solving essay on the PCAT has to be factual. I'm worried that I'll get a topic I'm not very knowledgeable about and will stall when discussing it. Do they judge on content or just the language and problem- solving skills? Can I make stuff up as long as my writing skills are adequate? Anyone knows?

WHen all else fails, BS that thing! I mean 30 minutes to write a good essay is crazy! But I think they are mostly checking for grammar, not necessarily how 'correct' you answer the question. But I could be wrong...
