How is Dr. Collins reading comp. material?

[Member 559246]

I'm thinking of retaking PCAT in Nov. and I need to stress reading comp. I've used up all my Kaplan material and have kind of memorized the passages and I've taken all three of the Pearson tests. How is Dr. Collins just for reading comp. I know this has been discussed but I'm hoping if I start a new thread there will be clearer consensus. How does the Collins reading comp passages compare to the real thing.

Collins RC is severely lacking. It is way too easy and is not reflective of what you'll see on the test. You said you have taken the pearson tests. I took them as well and thought those were 100x more reflective to what was on the pcat compared with Collins.

Dr Collins is awful for reading comp. It's great for every other section though

Dr. Collins RC is atrocious. I took one test and a couple of the passages were very similar to the practice PCAT RC passages. Seems as if they dumbed down the Pearson RC passages, threw in a few piss easy questions and called it a "test."

That's pretty poor, if you ask me.

Let's be honest, theres really not much that can prepare you for the RC... Hit or miss the way I saw it.
