so i have the kaplan book to review but i wanted to do more practice tests and i was looking at buying the Barron, and cliff book which they said have like 2 and 5 tests respectively. Are these good to buy or no??
thanks

Im kind of in the same boat i want to do a couple of practice exams from those supplements and don't know if they are worth purchasing, for those that have actually taken the Pcat, how close are the practice tests to the actual exam? Are the questions similar at all in difficulty? Please respond

I went ahead and purchased the two practice exams directly from Pearson. On the upside, they're definitely similar.

On topic, I head Cliff's PCAT test prep is a good test, but doesn't include the updated materials. Barrons is really old at this point. Opinions on the Kaplan stuff is here and there.

In regards to the Pearson tests, you only get two, and I wish I could get a better idea of where I'm scoring. It told me I got between 65th and 85th percentile, but that's a huge range. Anyone who's taken the PCAT know where getting 150 out of the 200 questions correct usually lands you on percentile?

Still a month to prepare!
