i am wondering if i should take microbiology in order to take PCAT.
based on your experience, how many questions are from microbiology?

As long as your general bio background is good, you should be fine. The first time I took it, I hadn't taken micro at all, and there were a couple questions, but I still got a 90. The second time I had taken a few months of micro, and there was maybe a question or two. Just learn the really basic stuff, like what is a bacteria and what is a gram stain, and you should be okay.

I agree with Angela. Nothing I learned in microbio, which I took after the PCAT, was on it.

I can't remember anything from micro and I scored pretty high on the bio just from studying Kaplan. You should be fine.

If you don't need microbiology as a pre-req for a school, I wouldn't take it. I scored pretty high on the bio section w/o taking microbiology. As the previous responders said, know your General Biology and you should do pretty well. Good Luck!
