Is it really true that the more people who take the PCAT the better? My brother is in pharmacy school at UF, and he said that his friends did best on the October/November exams that the June or January. Just wondering

What I don't get is how Harcourt can compare us to the "norms" from 1998 through 2003 when their test was significantly easier than ours! Seems a little wrong. But I've seem some 99 percentiles around so it must work out in the wash as they say.

No, because your score is not based upon how many people took the test with you. It is based upon a 'control' group that took the test over several years.

I think harcourt might take that into account to make it fair.
They are probably going to be just looking at the previous two - three tests where there have been actual essay examinations
.. I'm guessing
Your essay has nothing to do with your composite %.
