So here is what I got on then PCAT on July 19th, but I think it's not the final score and that it will only be sent to us in a few weeks? Will these be the same (final score and this score)?

Verbal Ability
404/54
Biology 434/91
Reading Comp.
405/60
Quantitative A. 430/91
Chemistry 439/93
Comp 422/88
👍

Didn't do the best on my verbal/reading comp. :| but I think 88 on comp is definitely something to be grateful for. I've read that most pharmacy schools look for 70-80~ as their average as far as PCAT scores go so I think my score is alright here.

However I'm wondering if the 54 on VA and 60 on RC will be an issue? I am definitely not an english major and spend very little time focusing on either of those since I thought I would probably score 70% or more on those without really trying 🙂o). I know some schools take big gaps in scores for subtests into consideration but I have heard thats usually if someone does bad on Chem or Bio or maybe even QA while having a good Comp score.

No dnt worry as long as your composite is above 85 you are ok......Most school will accept you......
 
Those are great scores! I wish mine came out like that.
My QA was terrible!! I got 399/45 on the unofficial score report, and my composite was 72 🙁

I don't know if I should try to see if I can take it again in September... If I do that, my application will be a little late since I wanted to send it by the end of August. Also I'm not sure if I'd actually be able to study enough to improve my score. And I have to do better no matter what since I'm applying to UH and they basically imply that you MUST do better if you decide to retake it. I'm taking summer classes and just started a job a month and a half ago. I know some people have more things on their plate, but I'm not the best at studying... 🙁
