How should I adjust my studying for the Quantitative Reading section to most effectively take advantage of the June 2007 PCAT changes?
Well, everything is basically the same expect that there are no geometry questions. Also, they reduced the numbers of questions from 58 to 48 to be solved in 30 minutes. So, you should be studying more effectively for pre-calc, calc, stat, and algebra.
roughly what pecentage of each subject is on the test?
I read that the stats section was increased. I also read somewhere that Calculus makes up almost 40 percent of the QR section.

yah, thats about correct. I remember solving lots of differentials, integrals, and graphing. statistics were presented in the form of word problems, percentages, and analyzing changes over time.

yeah it is 40 mins not 30mins for 48 questions
opps, sorry ! It is 40 min. Am i stressed or what !

On my oct 2007 exam, I only reviewed precalc and calc materials and managed to get a 83 %. And also, I guessed on long problems to give myself more time to do the ones I was able to solve; basically, i skipped around by solving all the easy ones and then returned to the difficult questions.
So, hopefully this sat I'll improve my score !

There was one question which didn't ask to solve it but just to set it up !- yah
