Sooo, just got out of my first PCAT exam, here is my score report:

Verbal: 96
Biology: 99
Reading: 94
Quant: 39
Chemistry: 88
Composite: 95

Math, obviously, is not my strong point. Will schools look at this, and discredit my score? Also, I'm not really familiar with this, will my score probably be lower when I get the official report? I was pretty excited to get a 95 overall.. I am a returning-to-school type student overcoming a bad freshman year from several years ago.

Basically..

Since starting back to school last fall.. I've brought my 2006 GPA of 2.07 to a 3.20. I having been working in retail pharmacy for 4 years and have national certification. I feel like things are looking better for me, but I am really worried about those old grades haunting me!!!

Thank you, based on your comment and reading furiously through the other posts, it seems like I should just stick with this score. I felt like some of the sections were so tough, I'm glad I got a decent score.

The math section was really tough!!! Are you freaking out in a good way, or a bad way??

I agree with everyone else you do not need to retake it, BUT you need to make sure the school you're applying to does not have a minimum on a section.

if u want to show off better score to schools, yes retake it. if u just want to get into schools, stay with it

First of all, I don't see how you didn't have a higher composite score with 4 great scores, including 3 in the 90s. I would definitely NOT retake. That 90s composite score is good enough for just about any school.
