Does anybody know what happens if you no show to the PCAT? I was planning to retake it tomorrow but have decided not to.

Thanks!!

You lose the 140$ that you paid for the test. Thats about it.

yeah. that sucks! hope everythings alright!!! losing 140$ isn't that bad, i mean its not like they say on ur records that you didnt show up to the test

im considering a no show too... pharmacy schools won't see it right? like it won't count as a 0.

Also... do we have the ability to cancel our scores afterwards if we feel like we bombed it?

there is a no score option at the end of the test.

but you paid the 150 and it couldn't hurt to take it and if you feel like you bombed it, no score.

don't a lot of schools avg the pcat scores you take? or not.

most schools want the highest score

i dont see any point of hiding ur score nor choose the no score option...most schools out there choose the highest scores, so doesnt matter how many times u took it, they still regard the highest score (composite score/percentile in this case)

Sorry but that's not completely true. When you send your PCAT score to schools, you send ALL your scores. If you don't show up to take it, it's as if you never signed up.

If you dont show up, it wont show up to schools.Schools will look for your highest score, but if you havent reached the 60th percentile by your fourth try, flipping burgers may be more to your liking.

 

[88888888]

flipping burgers.. man.. i hope i get above 60...
it's 60 composite..? ..

what i meant is there's no need to hide the score, pearson will send all scores to the schools
