Hey guys,

I got my january pcat results, it was first time and my scores are very low

VA 27
RC 22
MATH 88
Chem 64
Bio 71
3/2.5
Composite 56 🙁

I am planing on retaking in august.

Is it possible not to apply in any school and take the pcat, just to see how well u do and if you get good scores then apply to school and send score reports via pearson to that particular school. Does pearson allow that?
Because, first i want to see how i score in august and then apply to pharmacy school

Thanks in advance 🙂

Taken from the PCAT FAQ on the Pearson site:

The only way for you alone to receive your scores is by not entering any school code numbers when you register. If you already listed recipient schools when you registered, you cannot receive your scores without the school(s) that you listed also receiving your scores.

So it seems so as long as you plan on that from the get-go. However, schools might still be notified that you've taken the exam three times; that I have no idea about. Why not take the practice tests?
