I've been doing mass amounts of practice problems in the PCAT destroyer to familiarize myself with all the different types of questions recently. I've found that PCAT destroyer is VERY different from Dr. Collins. For example, PCAT destroyer has many problems where you would most likely need a calculator. It also contains element specific questions such as "How many unpaired electrons on element X" when element X is fairly uncommon.

In general, it has quite a few questions where you would need a periodic table or calculator which you will not be able to use on the test. Has anyone else discovered this? Is it a fair assessment of the actual PCAT? I know the whole points of giving you tons of practice problems is so you're prepared for anything that comes your way, but jeez....i've ran into this problem many times.
