That's not a bad score and I'm sure it would score you multiple interviews. Normally, schools do not care much for VA. Congrats on doing such a good job 🙂
Was the vocab hard or was it only tricky to find out the relationship?

what should I focus for bio? I haven't taken any serious course, mostly self studying for the test so any advice would be greatly appreciated. And Eng is not my first lang either!
First, get dr collins and pearsons. Then, start going through collins practice test then move on to pearson. I would say alot of questions on PCAT were conceptual. It wasnt right off book questions. Pearson test 4 was VERY similar to the pcat
so would you say that the pcat had similar questions to Dr. Collins?

That is awesome!! What did you use to study? Do you have any suggestions/tips for people taking the pcat tomorrow?
What year was your Dr Collins you used? was it the 2014 updated one?
Is the VA somewhat similar to practice test 4? If so, what did you get on the practice test? Everyone's VA score seems lower which scares me 🙁(
skip any question u couldnt figure out in 10 seconds esp math
i had no time problem about time except rc but i guessed some on math cu i ran.out of time.
i saw exact same questions from dr collins so just focus on dr collins i think. gluck!
okay cause I am thinking my Dr Collins is 2011/2012, that is what it seems like. Also was there a lot of microbiology on there?
To those that have taken the exam today and left last minute tips, Thank you!
I also take my exam tomorrow so today is my break day followed with a good nights rest.
If I don't know it by now I plan to skip it and come back if/when time permits.
Good luck, everyone.

wow that's great what did you use to study?
Don't worry, the school will not gives you hard times about VA.
Can you please give me some bio advices? Like what should I focus on. I haven't taken any course and my test is tomorrow
wish I were you right now 🙁 Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
How was the orgo section? Was it reaction heavy?
just like dr collins ochem and pearson tests, nothing more.
also, another tip. after each section, i felt like my composite is getting lower and lower.
Even though you think you did bad in one section, just forget about it and focus on next section!
You never know until you get your scores at the end.

most of the times they are actually exactly the same. On rare occasions, it can change by 1-2%.
I know they take out 8 questions from every passage for "Experimentation" purposes, is there any way to spot these? (besides the Bio and Chem sections)
Generally, no. But I notice that most (not all) of the questions that I cannot do on QA turn out to be experimental. Just try doing them all and pray that the ones you didn't get happen to be exp
So the passages are obviously noticeable on Chemistry as well as Biology, correct? You will see a passage with 4 questions each?

I have mixed feelings about this English is not my first language so obviously I'm okay with the RC. However, the QA. I just cannot believe it. I did not have time at all. With less than a minute to go I had 10 questions to go. My mind was just all over the place during that section. I skipped a lot. But one thing just send your exam to be graded cause I never expected this composite score after the last section (Maths)
VA 78
Bio 97
RC 43
QA 45
Chem 88
Composite 82
Now what? I don't have any pharmacy experience. Nor do I have a significant history of extracurricular activity. I'm a registered nurse. I just don't know what to do. What schools do I have a chance for this application cycle?

You have a pretty good chance me thinks. Being an RN still means you have Medical field experience. Also i herd pharmacy schools like Graduates (more than undergrads), Just something i've herd not something that's true. You can also easily find somewhere to volunteer as a Tech. Near my school there's a place where you can volunteer as a pharmacy tech and a lot of my friends have volunteered there. The only thing you'd need is a recommendation from a pharmacists, Family friend would work perfectly.
