Hello
So here's my situation.. please do give me your opinion & help!
I'm a student in college with a GPA of 3.9.
I've taken more than one Chemistry course (Chem 1/2 & Orgo 1) I plan on taking Orgo 2 soon. As for Biology, I've taken Biology 1/2 and Microbiology & A/P 1/2.
I feel like I get the concepts of all my subjects but I've taken the PCAT.. 3 times and each time I get lower than 50 percentile.
Recently when I took it I got a 394 composite because the time screwed me over and Biology was harder than planned and I guessed on more than 15 of the math questions because there was no time.
I've used the testing materials everyone seems to use.. Kaplan 2015 .. book mostly for biology, Dr.Collins 2015 for everything except Reading (Packets & Study Guides) & I purchased the pearson practice tests.
I seem to know it all with the testing materials but I still don't do well. I don't know if the time is the problem.. but it's really making me lose hope but at the same time I don't want to lose hope.
Any advice?
Does anyone know anything I can do to strengthen my studying? I really want to pass.
Does anyone know what composite is 50 percentile? Is the book for Kaplan different? is Dr.Collins 2016 different from the 2015 one even though I have the updates?
Thank you.
