Pearson Practice test scores vs. Real PCAT scores

[Startupkid]

I just bought the Pearson practice test's and have been going through them. I'm wondering how the scores on the practice test will transfer to the real PCAT? If i'm scoring in the ~80th (give or take 5%) percentile in the math, chemistry and biology, does that mean I should expect around the same for the Real PCAT?

the practice tests from pearson give percentile ranges and they are very similar to how you will do on pcat. I got composite of 80-99% range on all practice tests and scored a 94 composite on pcat and others will tell you that it is very similar as well.

Ok great. How would you study in-between practice tests? Maybe just go over all the problems on the first practice test, then take another test? I'm only a week away from my PCAT and really don't have time to go through all my dr.collins material, so I was wondering what the best way to study would be for the next week

My first test showed that I was in the 60-80 percentile, and then my last two showed I would be in 80-99 (which were taken closer to the test). My score was an 84. 🙂

You definitely need to go through all the chemistry, biology, and math practice tests, the verbal and rc you can neglect since you don't have time. you can do all practice tests for a section in a day if you have the time and willpower haha its just how bad you want it. I took all my practice tests like during the week before the pcat, and by then I had gone over every dr. collins section at least twice. Id suggest you just focus on bio, chem, and quant at this point, and study what youve been missing on pearson practice tests. good luck!
