Hi!

I took my PCAT last summer in August (2009). I am thinking of applying to pharmacy school not this year but next year (2011)-for entrance in fall 2012. Will my PCAT still be valid during next year's application cycle, or do I need to apply this year or take it again?

Btw, all u studying for the PCAT-don't stress it 🙂 Its a pretty fair test (except for the timing)-if u study consistently for 2-3 months you'll do great!

It depends on the school. From what I've read, it seems most schools accept PCAT scores within the last two years, so for entrance fall 2012 a score from summer 2009 would probably not be valid. But definitely check with the school(s) to which you're applying. You can always retake the PCAT if need be.
