PCAT Quantitative Reasoning

[Vermicularius]

I'll be taking my PCAT in less than 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone had tips on the math section. I'm looking to do well on the sciences, but the reading is oddly challenging (not going to bother) and the math seems very doable, however, i fall very short. I believe my problem is finishing on time but not efficiently (even if i feel like i'm doing well). I've read some threads that have people scoring in the 90's with a great science and math section and average reading so i'm wanting to improve on my math. The resources i have are Kaplan (not useful in math), Pearson practice exams, an outdated Barron's book (which has similar questions to what i'm finding in the Pearson practice exams) and university notes. How did y'all study/practice for the math besides timing?

Try not to use calculator.
If you use calculator for simple thing, then it will waste your time alot.
Also, there are so many easy questions on the section so dont spend so many times to answer one question.
if you stuck on one question, then you would miss other ez questions.


also, if you dont know the answer, then make good reasonable guess.


easier to make good score without calculator.
