does any one know if the experemental questions for the bio and chem sections will be the same as they were for the july PCAT? or are they going to change them up so you wont know which ones are experimental?

I am wondering the same thing. On one website I saw that for all 2014 tests there is passage based experimental questions for bio and chem and some other website I saw that you don't know which ones are experimental. So I don't know which one to believe as I am taking it in September also. I would probably assume they are also experimental but you never know so it's probably best to answer each question to the best of your ability, including passage based.

it is more obvious for passage based in bio and chem. Everything else is harder to tell. Also I think they bumbed up the difficulty of rc, verbal and quant since many ppl who score high on bio and chem fall hard on other sections

yes i would guess that they bumped up the difficulty because skipping those passage question gives you a lot more time to focus on the questions that actually count. But i guess im going to try those passage question just like all other questions since i dont wanna take a chance.

Just wondering what have you been using to study?

Primarily Dr. Collins with some youtube videos here and there for chemistry and math.

Bio/chem I would straight up skip the passage questions, since they will not be scored, unless you really have the extra time

I disagree, I wouldn't skip them all together. Attempt like the other ones. You never know if changes were made. It wasn't explicitly stated anywhere that the passage were experimental. I wouldn't chance it.
