Depending on how much you already know it's plenty of time. I studied from mid May to the beginning of July (a month and a half) and got a 99%tile.

how did you study and what materials did you use?

I used Crack the PCAT and the Pearson tests. Crack the PCAT is good because it has video explanations for all the questions.

How many hours a day did you study each day?

How many hours a day did you study each day?

Around 4-6 hours a day, minus the weekends usually.

I studied about 2 hours each day for a month (June to early July) and got 94. 2 months is more than enough if you commit your mind to it. Take a diagnostic and see where you're starting at, and go from there.

I study for about 4-5hr/days, half week since beginning of June till first week of July, got 96. I forgot lots of things but if you pay attention when you took classes, it should come back pretty quickly. I used Collin's and Pearson practice tests. Went through Collin's guide to refresh my knowledge, then took the practice tests. I think you should do all the practice tests to get familiar with the format and be able to time yourself.

thinking of studying 4-5 weeks everyday until September 2015 PCAT

I'm studying for that one as well. I don't think that it's too far fetched....just as long as you're consistent and you have knowledge of the information and are not learning from scratch!!

similar to everyone else. Studied since the beginning of May and just took the July 9th PCAT and got a 92. Studied about 3 hours a day from Dr. Collins and took 3 pearson practice tests. Was very well prepared.

I studied from the end of April to the beginning of July, and got 98th percentile. Roughly two and a half months and was fine. I did roughly 3-4 hours a day, but took 1-2 days off a week.
