When applying to take the pcat at a certain date, do you guys add the schools you want it sent to or wait until you get your scores(just incase you didnt get the 98 percentile like you wanted to) then ask pcat to send it to the school of your choice.

From what I heard, Harcourt will send transcripts that lists all your pcat score attempts. So I do not see why you would not want to send the score the first time. I believe most schools will only look at your most recent score.

Most schools look at your highest PCAT score so it doesn't matter if you did poorly. Plus, Harcourt will send the scores to what ever school free of charge considering the obsene amount they charge for taking the PCAT. You're better off sending those scores when you apply for the PCAT instead of waiting and then paying XX amount of dollars to send those scores.

Absolutely! You get three transcripts sent free (included in the price of the test) that you decide beforehand when you sign up for the test. Afterwards, it's another $18 per transcript. I think at the test you can ask them not to grade it--though I don't know why you wouldn't. Take a chance, you never know how do. Plus if you do take it again, I think it's noted that it is your 2nd time but I'm sure the schools only look at the latest scores.
