Retake January PCAT?

[SA90]

I took the October PCAT for the first time and ended up with a 79 comp with 77 Quant, 85 Chemistry, 84 biology, 77 verbal, 40 in reading comp, and 3/3 on the essay. I have a 3.91 GPA. I'm applying to the University of Florida. Should I retake in January or is this good enough? 😕

Find out what the average PCAT was for the 2010 entering class and base your decision off of that.

Hard to say. A 79 with mid 80's in biology and chemistry is a solid score. If your application is lacking in other areas like experience or leadership then I would retake. If it's not, I wouldn't. Especially if you think there's a possibility that your Bio/Chem scores could go down.

Yeah, I definitely would not want to retake it for my reading to go up and the chem and bio scores to go down. I don't know. I have over 100 volunteer hours but no pharmacy experience. I should probably retake it.
