Kaplan general chem

I took the "final exam" of the 2007 kaplan practise book and noticed that the general chem section was a lot easier than the review problems at the end of each section.

for the "final test" a lot of general chem like gas law and buffers and stiochemetry was in simple ratios compared to the review problems at the end of each chapter which had a lot more calculations.

so my question is the real PCAT general chem questions a lot more calculations like the kaplan section reviews or will they put in simple numbers or have more conceptual questions like the "final exam" of the kapalan book?

by the way the concensus I'm getting here is to focus on the kaplan book and abandon my cliff's five tests cause they are way too easy to be like the PCATs

The questions at the end of the chapters are good but you won't see anything like that on the pcat. You should do them to assess your understanding though. Keep in mind they only give you about (can't remember) 45 seconds per problem on the chem section. Some are easy like what are the properties of gases but you will get some stoichiometry problems and others you need to work out. Try to eliminate possible answers because you won't always have time to compute them. Basically they will be more like the final in the kaplan book.
