What are your weakest areas? If you aren't sure, buy a practice PCAT book and take an exam to see where you are. If verbal is your weakest area, start making flashcards of common words for standardized tests. If chem, bio, or math is your weakest, go through the book practicing, and maybe use old textbooks/cliffs notes/biology for dummies type books. Take practice exams under timed condtions - I wish I had done that, as I ran out of time in chem and math.

well, you can get pcat prep book (like barrons and kaplan) at barnes & nobles or online. they are helpful, and make sure you really pay attention to what you are taught in class, so you can remember it all from now. 🙂

The only official PCAT book I used was Barrons, because that's all that B&N had. Honestly, the material in it was repetitive and not an accurate representation of the PCAT. The Barron book made me think there would be very little calc and o-chem, and the actual test was much more difficult.
