Does anyone have any strategies, books or study guides that they used for the QA section on the PCAT. I scored a 37 on the math section on the PCAT with studying Dr. Collins, Kaplan and the Pearson test. I dont understand how to do the calculus portion of the math section, like line tangents, function questions, etc. they are a different language to me.

Probably not very much. I know people that skip all the calculus questions and still scored higher.

Well then, not to be cheeky, but I'd suggest studying these topics. There are lots of great math websites, or pick up a good ol' fashioned calculus textbook.

Strategy: get quick with basic calculations. Don't use a calculator. Do as much everyday math in your head as you can get ahold of: tips, MPG, estimated drive time at X speed, etc.
