"The mean Writing score differs from one PCAT test administration to another, reflecting differences in prompt content, slight differences in prompt difficulty, and differences in the group of candidates sitting for the PCAT during that administration. For this reason, a candidate's Writing score should always be evaluated relative to the mean score for the test administration during which the score is earned."
So on the official report, "Score" is the average of the 2 essays you wrote. "Mean" is the national average.
Hope this helped!

Mean is the average of all test takers during the testing window.
Next mailing cycle is day after tomorrow! Same as mine, posted at 10AM
I am not sure how this thing works. Do they actually use physical mail or send the information using the internet?
If they send real mails it would take a few days more for the schools to receive it after they mail it on Wednesday. hmm
I called them about sth and they told me that they mail out (paper versions) everyday monday and wednesday. Ad soon as your grades r verified, they go online so that ur schools can access them in realtime before ur app is sent.

Same here, except I took mine on the 17th. However pharmcas mobile has the correct date, so I think it is just a typo. I wouldn't worry about it because as long as they have your PCAT score, that's all that really matters.
I took it on Sept 3rd too but mine was showing alright. Prolly tech error
It means you took it on September, 2013, not the 13th of September. They listed it as a test window, not a date.
I have a question...does anyone know the answer?
So I took the September 2013 PCAT, but I am not going to apply to school until the next application cycle (in a year). This is because I work full time and I'm just not ready to apply yet. What happens to my PCAT scores that get sent to the schools I indicated when signing up for the PCAT? (PharmCAS and two other schools, can't remember). Will it look bad if they receive a PCAT score from me but no application? And what would I do next year when I do actually need to apply? Any info helps.
Thanks!

I have taken the PCAT on September 18, but PharmCAS have not received the scores yet because I forgot to enter my PCAT cid number when I e-submitted my application. 🙁 I have just entered it today into my PharmCAS application and saved it. Have anyone had the same problem before? Does anyone know if I need to pay $20 for Pearson to send the scores to PharmCAS again? Thanks in advance!
I just made the same mistake you did, and I also didn't submit to PCAT Watertown 104 .______________. I just paid the extra $20 and entered in my PCAT cid number on my app. Does anyone know how long this takes for PCAT to verify for my early Sept PCAT score?
It should not take more than a week, since Pearson already have your official score report. They would just need to forward them to Pharmcas.
Omg if I had not read this I would have been waiting forever, I was wondering why schools were taking so long to get my PCAT scores...
So can I get a confirmation, I just added my PCAT CID and saved it, no extra fees or anything? Just wait?

Yup, mine was updated one day after. No extra fees.
