Hi everyone! I just received my June PCAT scores. My overall Precentile Rank was 92 but I don't feel good about it. Maybe it is because of my breakdown:

Verbal 60
Biology 75
Reading Comp. 64
Quantitative A. 99
Chemistry 95
Composite 92

Writing 4

Can somepne please tell me how I should react to this. I am planning to take the Kaplan Online Course very soon. Has anyone taken it ? Has it helped them ? Will it help improve my verbal and reading scores ? Thank you for your help.

A 92 composite is competitive. I'd be a bit disappointed at the sub 70 scores, but overall, still competitive.

Your math and chemistry scores are outstanding. Your knowledge in those subjects will be very important in pharmacy school so I think it speaks well of you that you scored so highly.

I don't know if the Kaplan online course is good or not...
I think it's expensive.

If you want to try something cheaper, a GRE Verbal book might help. The verbal section of the GRE is very rigorous, and it has a lot of similarities to the PCAT verbal and reading sections. I found two books for sale on Amazon.com (used copies for less than $10.00 each). Either one would probably prepare you very well.

Just go to www.amazon.com and search for "GRE Verbal." It should bring up at least two books - the Princeton Review and Kaplan GRE Verbal.

I used the GRE Biology book to prepare for the PCAT biology section and I ended up doing very well. I would even say that it over-prepared me.

Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

Thank you very much for your support and advice. I will definately try looking at the GRE books for Biology and the Verbal section. Congratulations on your GRRRRRREAT score!
