Looking for online PCAT study partner.

Members don't see this ad.
 
lol what exactly would that consist of? and when are you taking it? im taking it in july
 
Already took the PCAT (scored 96 on both science sections) and got into a pharm school but here are my tips...
1. Watch Youtube videos. Crashcourse A&P and Armando Hasudungan are literally all you need for anatomy. Watch them thoroughly. Unless you prefer reading to visual, it's all you really need to study for. Microbio was pretty easy too. Knowing something about genetics is pretty beneficial as well.
2. Your organic chemistry and acid-base knowledge is more important than periodic trends, thermodynamics, electrochem, etc. know neutralizations, titrations, etc. SN1, SN2, E1, E2 WILL BE ON IT. They will give you very big and complicated structures, but the process is relatively simple.
3. Learn to efficiently do math problems. Sure, they give you a calculator but it's not like it makes it much easier. The math problems aren't hard, but you need to be fast.
4. Forget about the reading. No one cares about what you scored on the reading section, so don't focus on it unless you can't read.
5. Don't waste time reading the entire passage. The new exam is passage based and a lot of the info is unnecessary and just wastes time. Skim and read the question.

Thanks so much for the Info! will be sure to keep these tips in mind when studying...
