I purchased all the pearson practice exams, just wondering how good these are for pcat prep, thanks!

They are excellent! I solely used them to study for the PCAT (no Dr. Collins or anything like that) and I got a 99 composite. Absolutely wonderful!

thank you : ) yea they seem pretty similar to the question type and structure compared to the real exam

I even had a lot of repeat questions that were word-for-word from the pearson exams! It really helps to gauge where you are and how you can expect to do on the real exam

really??? thats nice to know! for the math section would you say it is pretty similar to the pearson tests? thank you for your responses : )

It's kind of like a hit or miss with the math section on the PCAT. My practice tests were challenging but not impossible, while on my real exam, it was ridiculous. So many of them were tough calculus ones that took a lot of time like optimization and related rates (stuff I never looked over), yet I still got a 99 percentile on the math so maybe that while the exam is really hard, it's scaled so you can still do well. The practice exams will help you a lot, though, with timing the math section since it is, in my opinion, the hardest section in regards to finishing on time.

I am finding them quite helpful to study even though my original plan was to study with Dr. Collins and mainly use Pearson to see where I stand.

The percentile estimates are nice though I wish you could delete your answers and retake it
