Did anyone here find MCAT study guides helpful for studying for the PCAT? I'm talking about Examkrackers, The Princeton Review MCAT books, or any other MCATmaterials. I notice the new Barrons, Kaplan, and The Princeton Review PCAT books don't reflect the new changes on the PCAT such as biochemistry and health related questions needed for the PCAT. Did anyone find MCAT materials useful for studying PCAT? If so, in what way?
 
I've heard that the mcat material for chemistry is too in depth compared to what's on the actual pcat, but the mcat material for biology was helpful. Make sure to read the revisions that have been made to the pcat. Good luck

Yes, I've personally studied them also using MCAT materials. What PCAT lacks, I would always refer them to MCAT materials. 👍
 
basically pcat books for Princeton review and kaplan are almost basically the same. some chapters are word to word. But mcat books have little extra in depth.
