I own Kaplan, Barrons and Cliff's book and the content of Barrons was way too easy compared to the actual test. Kaplan was really good for review, but it is still very hard to study for the math section. Also, Kaplan is missing a lot of Orgo.

Kaplan's biology section is really good, but their math and chem section are lacking. I felt that the math section on any of those 3 books did not accurately reflect or prepare me for actual math section on the real test. The math questions on the actual pcat were just too random. As for the chem section of the Kaplan, its really good for general chem, but only has a couple pages of O-chem. You'll probably want to study ochem I extra if you're gonna go with Kaplan.
