Hey guys I have PCAT on SEP 24th but I am having trouble with quantitative ability section.....The difficulty does not include solving problem it just mean that I donot know where to study and what to study.....I need a book which have algebra, pre-calculus and calculus all in one......Also, I donot know where to start and if you guys can help me I will be very thankful..........😕

Dr. Collins math packet was the best. Every other PCAT prep book out there was just pure junk when it came to math.

So I got doctor collins packet in June and took the July pcat. If you do all the sections and have a solid background in each subject you should be fine. Regarding math, i had finished calculus II by the time I took the course so I had all the material. I recommend doing doctor collins packets FOR SURE followed by the pcat tests offered online by pearson. They cost 80 dollars for three, buy them all and do them as if each is under a time restriction. Finally, my recommendation for the math section is for every math question answer it, whether you know or you don't. The points you get are for the right answer not the work so if you are able to think through the problem do it. I did that I finished with a minute left (I hear from most people they don't have any time left and miss like 10 questions BAD). Using those two study aids, having my background (calculus isn't too bad on the test it was more the stupid stuff I learned in elementary school that caught me), and that testing technique I got a score of 88%ile. A percent over my composite. Good luck! and no matter how bad the test feels take the score and don't reject it. I thought I completely bombed the test and I did amazingly well for my first time.

I agree with the above posters. Do the Collins math packet and practice tests. Also, make sure to buy the pearson practice tests and time yourself. On the July pcat, I skipped all the questions I couldnt answer easily and came back to them at the end with like 2 mins left. Guessed on all of them and got a 93 for that section.
