Hello Pharm family,
I am a Canadian, and planning to only apply in Canada, and one school requires PCAT, but it only needs us to meet the minimum cutoffs only which is 80% composite! I do not know what that means, or how hard it is to achieve that. I am hoping I can cram 1 month in for September or carry it to January (Still able to apply in 2015 cycle with that)
I am coming off MCAT knoweldge and studying so I feel comfortable with Bio and chem, need some brushing up to remember details, and have practice with RC portion. I havent done math and stats in a year so that will be the main focus of my studying along with the writing section which give me worries!
I have done 2 full days of research on what sources to get on this forum and online, and it seems there are so much out there that I dont know which are the best to invest my time in. I already have the 2013-14 Kaplan PCAT book, and I must purchase the Pearson practice exams. I do not want to purchase Dr. Collins as I live out in Canada and I don't have much time. I want to do as many practice problems as possible but in the proper PCAT context. Which sources allow me to do that? I read Kaplan is not perfect for some topics. What do you recommend for EACH study section? I read some online sources. Is there a Syllabus for the Pcat topics? I read some people use MCAT Exam krackers for practice. Is that good representation?
I have such little time, and lack major knowledge! I want to invest the right time in my studying with the right sources from the start!
Please help me. Are there any websites I should know? There are millions out there!
Thank you
