I took the test in aug of 2010 and the Dr. Collins list did not help me. I was wondering if anyone had a list that I can study that will help me. I am retaking in Oct.

Thanks

Hey, I was kind of in your position. The first time I took the PCAT, I used Collin's but my vocab was not very good so I did not do as well as I would have liked. The second time, I got some vocab books from a bookstore and studied them here and there for about a month, some days I harder than others. I went from a 45 to an 82, not bad. And it also improved my vocab a lot in general so it wasn't totally a waste of time either 😛

all the words in this book are commonly seen on exams like the PCAT and similar tests.

I don't remember the title of the other book I got, but it was helpful because it had like 2 sentences for each word, a short history of the word, and then a quiz every so chapters.

hope this helps
