For anyone that has taken the PCAT before, were there any study books that you felt reflected the actual PCAT fairly well? I have Kaplan's, Cliffs, Peterson's, and Barron's and they all seem to vary greatly in difficulty. Just trying to get a feel for the real thing! Thanks for any input! 👍

I agree with you...
The practice test from Kaplan is so much harder compare to Barrons'.
But I've heard from a lot of people that the degree of difficulty is closer to Barrons...I dun kno.. someone knows?

I'm using Cliffs to answer math/verbal questions, Kaplan for bio and the Cliffs Problem Solvers Chemistry for...Chemistry, lol. Every book has their pros and cons.

I haven't used Barron's...but I heard the questions there were easier compared to the PCAT? I'm not exactly sure though =/

I agree. Kaplan is much harder than Barron's. Unfortunately, Kaplan seems like a piece of cake compared to Cliffs chem. section. I felt completely discouraged after taking their tests. 🙁 And encouraged after taking Barron's.
