I called the PCAT company for an update on mailing scores, and they are saying end of July/beginning of August...of course just like they said the day of...

Yeah, waiting for my scores is slowly killing me. I'm really anxious to see my results. I'm pretty sure quantitative/verbal are going to be pretty bad :(. Oh well, hang in there!

I am in the same situation... All I think about is what kind of scores I got. It is just so hard because I will be basing my decision about which schools to apply based on my PCAT scores....

I would try not to stress out too much. I was told it would take 4 weeks to get my scores, and while all of my friends and Classmates got theirs around 4 weeks, it took them almost 12 weeks to get mine to me. By then I had to register for the next PCAT which cost me more money. By the time I got my scores it was too late to get a refund on the next Test. I am curently talking with Harcourt to get my refund, I will let everyone know how that goes. Good Luck Everyone!!!!

It took six weeks for my Jan. PCAT results to arrive. I started seeing posts about results around the five week mark.

ya know - I'm really obsessing over these scores a bit too much - but I just cant help it. If you ask pharmacists what they got on their pcats - most simply dont remember. Its only important right now - It drives me nuts... oh well - for some of us, its gonna be one week until we know, and others... well - some are still gonna be waiting while the October PCAT is going.

If only the pharmacy was more busy - then I wouldn't sit here reading this forum and dwelling on my scores. ***sigh*** life of an IV tech

Saturday the 22nd will mark exactly 4 weeks since we were tested - So some time next week most of us will be getting our scores...

As to chilling about the scores - I am chilled, but I think you would be fibbing if you said that scoring big wasn't really important to ya.

I wont be stalking the postman - but he def knows I am waiting for something...

Try waiting for you NAPLEX and MPJE scores to come back...its either pass or fail on those...at least you have your gpa and interview combined with your PCAT score to get you in. It's driving me frickin nuts.....

OH MY GOD! When are they going to get here?! It seems like it's the summer time, less people took the exam, they'd be able to grade them quicker. Please tell me why I drove 20 miles round trip too see if my scores were in the mailbox ( I was at school ). Do you think I'm nutts? I'm not too excited about seeing my chem score. I haven't taken organic yet, so of course most of the exam seemed all organic, even though its supposed to be only 35 to 45 %.

I wonder why it took them 12 weeks to send you your scores. Did they loose them? Did you ask for them to be handscored? Were they investigating your exam? Please let us know. Take care.

I called harcourt few days ago, and they told me that the scores will be sent out by the end of this month. So I am guessing the earliest someone can expect their scores is by the end of the next week.

No, I mean the earliest... They told me they will send out the scores by the end of this month.. The end of this month is pretty much at the end of the next week.... So we should be expecting our scores the EARLIEST at the end of the next week (the week of 7/24)...

I almost went to check the mail today... However - its down pour right now in orlando (for those that dont know - its the afternoon storm) - and I already got soaked once today. Maybe I wont check it until we are moving (Moving to Gainesville)... That's on the 3rd - If they get here next week - that means 5 to 6 weeks - why dont they just say that???

Shouldn't they over-estimate these things? That way, when you get your score in 5 weeks when they told you 8, you feel good about it. Oh well, this is conventional thinking - and it need not apply to Harcourt or the PCAT

Sigh - reset clock to two more weeks

Can anybody please tell me... How hard is it to grade a scantron? (They could have sent our essay grade later: I would not mind)
I reallly wonder why they do not just post the grades online and tell us when to check them... I guess they enjoy keeping us in suspense: running every day to a mailbox and wondering if you have received the scores....

I'm so glad to know that I am not the only one who is obsessive about checking the mail! And then my husband thought it would be cute to tell me that they came Saturday but I didn't want to see them and I should go ahead and register for the October session!!! (They really didn't come) I was so mad at him--don't even joke about something like that!!!!!

I am new to this forum, but have been checking regularly to see if anyone has received anything. I'm tired of obsessing over my scores, but that will only subside once I have them in my hands. I was wondering if Harcourt was a good indication as to whether the test has been scored. I have clicked on the area where it says "request transcripts". Mine still says "pending". Has anyone received scores before that status was changed?

1. Everyone knows that Hartcourt routinely visits these forums looking for copyright infringement. I think we are the subject of a test administrators gag reel. Seriously, every time I go to the mail box I expect Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say "You've been Punk'd"

2. Honestly though, I think the real reason for the delay is completely understandable. Afterall, it must be hard to coordinate thousands of garden gnomes to deliver these scores to everyone at exactly the same moment. Think of the time zones! <shudders>

3. Maybe there are hanging chads? (from Florida, couldn't resist)

4. Is this part of the psychological profile of the test?

aghgahhgaahhhh ....I am going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The state is never gonna live that down... hahah

Seriously though, the test took just as long to grade even without the essay portion. I'm thinking they need to toss out the old crystal ball they use to score the essays... maybe replace it with a miss cleo or something - that way I could at least hope for a decent grade in the next few days (did you ever notice how nice the future was according to miss cleo??)

25 days down... another 13 to go...

You guys crack me up. While I graduated pharmacy school, I too am waiting for some test scores. I passed my NAPLEX but have been waiting on my MPJE scores to come back. These tests are done by computer and scored immediately after you finish. They are printed out the next day by the state and they SIT on someone's desk until they seem fit to send it out. I took the NAPLEX on the 1st of July, score was printed on the 3rd and it was mailed on the 18th!!! I took the MPJE on the 8th and I still haven't heard a thing...

So...I know what its like...good luck to all of you. Pharmacy is a great career and the schooling experience is great if you allow yourself to take it all in...

I know everyone is awaiting their score, but I was really wondering, does the score first get posted online before they are mailed, anyone know how that works? I think everyone has been clicking on requesting transcripts to see if the score is somehow there. I'm starting to think that u get them in mail before they are posted up on the harcourt pcat site.

ochem lab was annoying wasn't it? I remember I was trying to pull a stopper off a condensor and the whole thing busted in my hand. No more recrystallization!! woo After I was all done with ochem I was kind of sad. I've never studied a subject in continuation for 2 semester with the same teach.

I dont think anyone can give you a real answer on this one. How many Q's can be missed on one section of an obscure test taken 5 weeks ago. No one could really be expected to answer that one accurately. (ok, the test isnt really obscure)

In the end it doesn't matter. Regardless of how many you missed - your score cant be changed this time around. I know how you feel about putting you mind at ease. We are just going to have to wait it out - and accept whatever we earned. Man - the wait is killing me too...

So far - we have seen a 98 and a 91 composite. I like hearing about scores like that. How cool would it be if just about everyone on SDN scored in the 90's...

Aight - I've rambled enough - later
