Retaking PCAT

[PharmMnM]

Is it bad to take the PCAT many times? I am not ready for this Octobers PCAT but I have to take it. If I do bad and take it over many times, will it effect my application much?

You should probably check with your specific school(s) of interest. Mine, however (Ferris State) will let you take it as many times as you like and takes the highest score.

So far, I have not heard that it matters. The first time I took it - I scored a 79. I am skipping the october PCAT, and will take it in January. That way if I dont get in this year - I can focus on the June PCAT for the beginning of the next cycle. The most I have heard of though is 3 times around for the PCAT

From my experience, schools don't care how many times you take it. I scored a 76 my first time, a 75 the second time (freaked me out) and an 86 the third time. I still got plenty of interviews with the 76.

most schools don't like you to take it more than 3 times. I talked to an admissions person.

So you mean that at that particular school they dont like it if you take it more than 3 times, not most schools.
