Well, I don't have the answer for you. But, if they aren't representative of the real thing, then, who else will be?

my pcat had totally different questions in reading comprehension. it focused on one type of questions, and it was unlike any practice exam i have taken.
i don't know much about the other pcat exams, so i would like to know if they are similar to the pearson exams.

I thought it was a fair representation. I thought there were some weird bridges for analogies on the practice exam. I found the same thing on the real thing.

I think the RC is quite a lot harder than the practice test of Pearson. For the math part, the questions is a little bit easier, but somehow they took me a long time to figure out the calculation part.

I don't remember the questions being easier. Maybe they were but you also have the pressure of the real thing weighing on you and it is the last test of the day so there are stamina issues. I know when I took the math for real, I wanted to put my head in an oven after that section. I was pretty surprised when I got my scores and did pretty well.
