Retake PCAT

[zona2016]

So I took the pcat on april 2 and got these preliminary scores. Should I retake on account of the low chemistry part?. I am only applying state schools which might be more "strict" as far as stats go.

Any thoughts?

Although your Chemistry is on the low side, your overall composite score is fine. Unless any specific state school your applying to lists a cut-off score for chemistry, I would not bother retaking. Admissions is a numbers game. If your GPA is decent with pharmacy experience then apply broadly and you’ll be bound to pick up an interview.

My concern is that you may not have a complete grasp of the chemistry topics--which you will need for pharmacy school. Whether or not you retake the PCAT, I would recommend reviewing the chemistry topics which you are not confident about.
