Reviewing pcat

Does anyone know if there's a way to review your exam? Or to contact Harcourt and ask questions about specific questions? There were some questions that no matter how much I studied, I would not have studied that material - particularly some of the biology. Additionally, some of the analogies were quite strange - not difficult, but some of them really did not seem to have a relationship and there were a few that I thought were simply a matter of interpretation.

Additionally, there was one math problem which I still do not understand... without divulging too much information, it was a question which presented the answers in the form of, what I thought to be, equal answers. For example, 1 answer was 25/100 whereas one was 250/1000. If anyone recalls this, can you explain this to me? Was I reading the question wrong or was there an error on the exam?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt it. From what I hear, Harcourt recycles the same exams...

I don't believe there is a way to have Harcourt tell you answers to specific questions after the test. Your bet best is to write down questions that you were unsure about after the test and then go over them yourself with your textbooks and even the internet. I did this between my first and second test. (I also saved these notes and reviewed them before my second test) Of course you won't remember every question you were unsure of, even immediately after the test, but it helps.

You can have exams rescored but I don't believe that Harcourt plays ball for specific question releases. Like a previous poster has said, they do recycle questions.

There were a lot of people who took your same form. Harcourt would detect any errors through statistical analysis if there was a question with all wrong answers. After all, that bad question should affect everybody.
