Buy Dr. Collins, Kaplan Blue Book or Cracking the PCAT, and Pearson PCAT Practice Tests.

Take the Practice Test #1 first. See where you struggle.
Pound out the sections in the Blue Book.
Review Dr. Collins ALL SCIENCE SECTIONS.
Take Practice Test #2
Rinse
Repeat

That's my advice. I know other people might say to go other directions, and you should definitely listen to what they say and DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU BEST.

Honestly, I think you get what you put in with the PCAT.

i am currently reading kaplan's pcat book 2012-2013 edition will that be syffiecient or do i hav to buy the collins book ???

Yes, It'll be sUfficient. I would make sure you are working at least 4 hours a day on that book. It's a big one and I have no idea what major you are, so just to be safe. I would also recommend trying to find someone to study with, particularly someone who is better in the subjects that you struggle with. Good luck.

MSU's study plan is great, but I honestly think the Kaplan 2012-2013 book is terrible. There is too much information to memorize. It will, obviously, be beneficial if you can memorize every little detail but it would be impractical. Kaplan also lacks practice tests. I think that is the most crucial: timed practice.

The 2012-2013 version also lacks updates for the new PCAT format with the updated biology and chemistry sections. Its organic chemistry section is also a joke. Besides general review for biology, I found the book pretty useless. Collins is great in that it has practice tests but I found that the difficulty of the practice tests were only on par with the actual PCAT in the verbal and quantitative sections.
