For those who took the PCAT. How detail is the calculations for Gen Chem on the real PCAT?

Very basic and broad concepts from gen chem I & II. Because of the timing aspect and the nature of the test (very broad knowledge) they don't really ask any very detailed and specific questions regarding gen chem.

The calculations don't get any more complicated than rearranging PV = nRT and basic stoichiometry. The numbers generally divide/multiply nicely, but you can always round them if they don't.

i think if u covered the basic organic materials u will be fine, it requires u to know how to name and also to have a knowledge about the bonds of organic compounds. i found the org chem was easy as i had a good standing on both organic classes.
