I am preparing to sit for the PCATs sometimes in June or July(whenever they have it). I just started studying from the Kaplan book, but I needed to know sumthing. I don't understand how should I calculate my score for the practice test i took. How does the scoring work? Would appreciate if someone would plz tell me so dat i could prepare better!!!
Thanks.

Also, PCAT scores are based on how you do relative to everyone else...therefore, the highest you can get is a 99% (because you can't do better than yourself)...sooo, the most you can do when practicing on tests is to try to get the most right as possible. You are trying to be more prepared than everyone else coming in and taking the test, so that you will do better than them, and therefore get a higher score (because the score is as compared to other people.

Hope that helps 🙂

I see, so hopfully all the smart people took their PCAT in June and have already been accepted to Pharmacy schools! leaving the dumb people to take it on Jan! hehehe...Just KIDDING! but hopfully I am not taking this exam with the smartest group. I think most people take their PCAT in June or August.

The scoring is not based on who took the same test as you, but rather scores from a range of previous tests. That link explains it in greater detail.
