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 :)

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

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 :((

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?

I used Dr. Collins heavily, PCAT destroyer for chemistry and math, Kaplan for bio, the 2 online Kaplan exams, and the 3 Pearson practice exams.

Also, congratulations to everyone! Great scores all around :)

didnt do anything do prep for writing part

ochem part is a joke. i felt like i studied too much for ochem.

There are some questions about bacteria and disease. Dr. Collins is really helpful for those. Also, review genetics. The passages were hard for me though, I don't really understand what they were talking about.

For the OChem, what did it consist of generally? Like identifying reactions, knowing structures of compounds, etc?
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
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.

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.
