will it look bad if I've completed all the prereqs with a low PCAT score in the 50s. Even if the later scores are higher will this still be an issue? I would think they'd understand if certain subjects had not been taken but I've already taken all of them---ochem, calculus, physics, bio, etc.

I see all these people claiming to have not taken ochem or calculus and still scored in their 90s so I feel really stupid for scewing up.

I know some shools say they only take the higher score but i'm soo worried that they'll see the low score! :scared:

dude take it easy ....i will take the exam in october and am not done studying yet..i think schools only care about your best score...when did u take the exam..was it really tough..how many people tested with u ..thanks
 
I think I did good for only studying for 6 hours before the day of the exam and on only one subject. However, I should have gotten a higher composite since I took it in October and have just completed all the prereqs. I had just completed Ochem, Physics, calculus, and Bio too.

it was tough because my eyes gave up on me, having crammed the night before and then for another 4 hours.

Even if they do see the low score, it won't really matter. The fact that you get a substantially higher score will indicate you've made big improvements during that time. You'll be fine =)
