I just got my October PCAT scores. I scored 82percentile composite which should be high enough for university I applied to. Probelm is, I focused only on science and math sections when studying because I'm in first year and haven't covered a lot of sciences on PCAT. This resulted in my poor writing scores of 2.5/2.5, which is below the requirements for the school I'm applying to. Any tips on what PCAT looks for in an essay and how to improve writing scores in general?

There is a great breakdown of essay requirements for the PCAT on Pearson's website, Cheesecake. Let me give that to you, dear friend :

Great job on the first- time PCAT, by the way!
Good luck 🙂
