anyone know any good pcat practice books. Are those kaplan pcat preparatory courses helpful too?
moved to PCAT Discussions.
the mcat examkrackers book is really good. so is the kaplan one
the course is only helpful if you have no clue anything biology related...which would be tragic. it's basically a quick overview of all the stuff you learned throughout the years. don't waste $1200+ on it when you can review all this on your own at home. but then again that's just my opinion
edit: merged the two threads..they're asking the same thing

The Kaplan prep book is great for the Bio section, Gen Chem and General Math. You need to get Organic and Calc review from another source. I would also recommend picking up a book of tests like Cliff's or Barrons to get comfortable with the format and timing of the test.
I didn't need review for the Vocab and Reading sections but I used Kaplan for those and scored pretty high.
I studied for 4-5 months but I have been out of school for 5 years so I needed more time to review.
Good luck!
