Hey
I just took the second practise test with pearson and ended up scoring really bad on the QA section.. percentile: 30 - 50% 🙁

I felt that the questions took too long to do (for one Q, you need to find the inflection point, i.e. 2nd derivative, which takes 5 mins to do!)

I was wondering if anyone else felt the same?

I know I wouldnt have done so bad if the questions were more reasonable for the time provided ..

Thanks!

If you see something like that on the test, which I did not see on mine, you should most definitely guess on it immediately.

I just took the first practice test with pearson and i did horrible!!!😕
I got
VA 15-35
Bio 65-85
Chem80-99
RC 1-20
QA 65-85
Composite 45-70

I'm studyin with collins and I tried to take this exam like the actual exam..
From my exam, I thought Bio and QA was harder than what i expected to be.

QA was the last section (especially after RC, my brain was already tired) so I don't think I did my best
but still there were some tough questions like related rates and such..
I think if you take 5min to do 2nd deriv, you need more practice in QA.. those should be done in less than 30 sec... and it's def. doable!!
For Bio, I thought i'd do better but to me bio questions were much harder than i expected...

and chem questions were easier than i expected (less calculation questions so more time!)

My overall was pulled down b/c of my VA and RC but.. I don't even know how to study for them... (english is not my first language)
I think i'll just work on bio.QA and chem to pull up my composite 🙁

yes, I understand your pain...
I guess we just need to work harder

Don't listen to that other guy. I know exactly what question you are talking about and since you have to do quotient rule twice it would definitely take a long time. Listen to harmonidrum instead, just guess and move on.

I took the PCAT twice and i can tell you that the actual PCAT is harder than those practice tests. This may be a bit harsh but it the bitter truth. Be prepared now so you do not regret after the test.

Yes, I'll keep that in mind..

Don't guess, make an educated choice. Spend 30 seconds to see if any of the other answers don't make sense - you've just improved your odds.
